THEEsatisfaction
"Seattle – and it's legendary grunge label Sub Pop – are on a good run, but not for what you’d expect. THEESatisfaction became Sub Pop’s second most significant hip-hop signing from its home city, after Shabazz Palaces' hypnotising 'Black Up' became the label’s surprise trump card of 2011. Their female counterparts in THEESatisfaction, aka Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White, featured heavily in Shabazz’s set-up both live and on record, and are peddling their own brand of fantastical soul on their first effort, ‘awE naturalE’.
Like ‘Black Up’, it’s a relentless barrage of experimentations with funk and neo-soul, swinging from the more radio friendly hip-pop of ‘Queens’ to the surreal, atmospheric offerings of ‘Juiced’ and ‘Deeper’. On standout song ‘God’, Shabazz’s frontman Ishmael Butler repays the favor of THEE’s contributions by lending his dense and often gloriously nonsensical rhymes to a choppy afro-beat track. The sheer vastness of different sounds they dip into just about manages to stay in the realm of luxury rather than sounding muddled, with the duo unafraid of throwing in eardrum-bullying bass reminiscent of alt.hip-hoppers MF Doom and J Dilla...it is a satisfyingly rich project, which solidifies Sub Pop’s new found status as hip-hop cavaliers. It’s a romp of fearless experimentation, which leaves you curious as to what THEESatisfaction’s new take on soul can offer in the future." NME
