Save Yourself (Vinyl LP)

It’s tempting to think that here, in early 2016 we, the Americans, are on the brink of something. Our first black president leaves office with neither a whimper nor a bang, as an orange-haired demagogue is railing away on our televisions. Marijuana is halfway legal, the U.S. Embassy in Havana is open and the police can’t stop killing black people. New York is the safest city in the country, Brooklyn is the most expensive and homelessness is through the roof. Antonin Scalia is dead. So is Amiri Baraka. A mass shooting probably just happened. Racial tensions are “higher than ever.” Oil is taking a beating. The Iraq War is lost, the Afghan War will never end and football players are retiring early, spooked. But that might just be vanity. Perhaps this is where America has always been, teetering above the abyss. The latest album from Backwoodz Studioz is no different.
