RJD2's New EP

"Tin Foil Hat" is it's name and it features seven new tracks. From the sounds of it RJ has decided to go back to his hip-hop roots. It's hardly a surprise seeing as how "The Third Hand" (see older post for more) was not well received and fans were unhappy with the pop route RJ was taking with that album. The EP is a prelude to his album "The Colossus" which is due early next year and if it's any indication as to how the album will sound it's bound to be another classic. RJ's on the top of his game once again; each song is tightly produced, a characteristic that few DJs can rival. Fourth track "When It Wobbles" would've fit right in on 2004's "Since We Last Spoke" and fifth track "Thine Planetarium" never feels overlong even though it clocks in at over nine minutes. "The Move" is the only song that has vocals and is a fresh addition to an otherwise instrumental EP. "Tin Foil Hat" might be a little bit difficult to track down so if you are unable to find it I suggest you be patient and wait for the album, it will be worth the wait. Here's a teaser:

I loved the Third Hand personally but then I like everything he's done so far - looking forward to listening to this new EP.
