about

A dance band playing the music of Moppa Elliott and Kanye West.

Elliott plays with rhythm and groove in unexpected ways, building each song on looped riffs and rhythmic parts that never quite repeat. The result is music that has all the forward momentum of funk and hip-hop, but none of its predictability.
- Andy Hermann, Downbeat
