Hoodlum Priest return, after almost five years of silence, with the release of
their eponymously titled second album. While technically not an Industrial
album, this release is still the best I've heard this year. Hoodlum Priest
combine a funky vibe and groove that reminds me of Portishead, but sounds
absolutely nothing like them. The album combines an wide array of normally
disparate musical elements which includes electronics, movie samples, rap style
vocals, acoustic guitars and a live drum kit that work amazingly well
together. The music doesn't follow the typical Pop song structure, but much
like Pop music, each track has a definite hook that lures in the listener.
Whatever magic Hoodlum Priest can access, performs a modern musical
miracle that makes this album my absolute favorite, beyond everything else in my
album collection.
