Please note new street date: June 3. For anyone who's been feeling suffocated by the sameness that's been afflicting hip-hop and pop - where a small handful of ideas gets recycled endlessly, and a spin through the big new-release playlists quickly devolves into a blur - They Hate Change's Jagjaguwar debut, "Finally", New lives up to its name. Starting as kids trawling the internet for tracks, the two members of They Hate Change have been collecting music from around the world and across the decades, amassing a shared sonic knowledge so deep that "encyclopedic" barely begins to cover it - not just East Coast hip-hop, or the hyperlocal bass-music variants like jook and crank, but also drum 'n' bass, Chicago footwork, post-punk, prog (they're, like, seriously into prog), grime, krautrock, emo, and basically any genre on the map."Finally, New" is what a truly post-genre musical landscape is supposed to be: building deep connections that transcend outdated distinctions between them, spilling over with the joy of exploration and possibility, and daring other artists to think broader, go deeper, take bigger risks.
