Politics As Usual

A humid, syrupy collection of Houston slab anthems. Slow-motion production and heavy bass designed for late-night drives through neon-lit city streets.

January 25, 2011

A thick, syrupy confidence that feels like cruising through a neon-lit city at 2 AM.

Moments Worth Listening For

The syrupy, slurred vocal transition on Move Slow where the tempo feels like it's physically melting.

The heavy, rhythmic thud of the kick drum on Scared Money that demands a high-end subwoofer.

The surprisingly somber and reflective tone of Daddy Wasnt Home contrasting with the album's bravado.

Where This Album Departs

How does Politics As Usual sound next to the rest of Paul Wall's catalogue?

Analog Warmth+0.8σ

The production is pushed a touch harder into analog warmth than this artist usually allows.
