Die Antwoord's latest album Tension is definitely a tensile offering.Bullheaded,complete with that rags-to-riches-cutthroat-attitude and a rat-a-tat repartee to match.Totally unorthodox,incontestably futuristic.And just by the way,your sudden interest interest in them,does not trip them up.They know you are now curious because they are blowing up overseas,so they let you know vehemently.Most local musicians would agree unanimously that nothing spells out 'success' than 1 :a Rolling Stone magazine cover, 2: performing at the Future Music Festival along side Jessie J and Gym Class Heroes amongst others.What more can Die Antwoord say? except "Fok Julle Naaiers",meaning the critics,the haters and the nay-sayers,irrefutably.
The production is outstanding,pretty much an amalgamation of NWA gangstar beats with that pronounced Cape Town electro meets rave kind of techno music.Track number 2 'I fink U Freek' is a catchy melody,I bet you'll struggle to shake it out of your head long after you've heard it,if you haven't already.Another good song is 'You make a ninja wanna f**k', which naturally will make you want to uhm! well, I'll let your imagination run with that one.All in all this is a dope album,Ninja doesn't mince his words,he let's us have it.Yolandie is click,witty and straight up cool.There is a certain camaderie between them that reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde.They are a talented duo parallel to none,there is a pronounced novelty about their artistry and their musicality is refreshing.Go cop yourself a copy.
