PATAPHYSICS – IED

It’s hard for the average person to relate to a lot of rap music. Focusing on glamour and money versus life on the street is not exactly a universal experience.

Alas, listeners should not fear the same disconnect when listening to Pataphysics’ EP IED. They will instead find very relatable worries fueling this fresh Australian music.

Nor is it too fast to actually hear the lyrics or the beautifully timed trumpet backing. IED is upbeat, varied and delightful, it even has a suitably luscious serving of soul.

Don’t put off getting this one. Pataphysics is well worth a listen. (SP)
