Sweet baby
goodness gracious.
El Michels Affair
has returned to the world
of the Wu-Tang Clan
with a follow-up
to Enter the 37th Chamber.
Now, eight years later
and with plenty of music
in between,
we Return
to the 37th Chamber.
The teaser was released
earlier this year
along with an incredible
animated video for "Iron Man",
but now we get
the entire album
in its Shaolin glory.
Featuring thirteen familiar
instrumentals, the LP
is handled
with “cinematic soul”
and paying plenty of homage
to the “sonic fog
that makes a RZA beat
so recognizable.”
This album is so great.
The kind you need on vinyl.
The kind of album
your parents
will appreciate
despite not knowing
about Chef Raekwon
or Tony Starks.
“Tearz”, a personal favorite,
comes complete
with Lee Fields and The Shacks,
who we covered earlier.
It's everything you need
as spring turns to summer.
