yeah i think we all got fooled.

the rap album Yoni was working on may have been Serengeti's.

but fingers crossed.

damn dude raps his ass off in that video.
i can see how from that clip you could suspect this to be his most heavily rap influenced album yet.
i mean, dudes rappin harder than any member of fleet foxes could ever go.

But he does rap in the promo vid. I think this album will be alopeciaish with lots of rapping and singing. Why really has done no wrongs IMO so I'm sure I'll be bumping their next album for a long time. Alopecia is one of my all time favorite records.

New Prefix interview with Yoni

Quote:

This record, specifically, has a lot of stuff that’s not sung melodically at all that’s just rap. It’s by and large a rap record, I would say.

4 new songs recorded by some guy at their gig in Cincinnati, fun fact

Quote:

Eskimo Snow was finished before Alopecia was finished. They were recorded, for the most part, around the same time, and then a few more Alopecia songs were recorded. But yeah, Alopecia was finished after Eskimo Snow, and Eskimo Snow was mixed later, but as far as all the recording and all the writing, it was done before Alopecia. That's why I'm saying we haven't made a progression to folk rock or anything like that. That was a sound I was going for on [Eskimo Snow]. I'm still very much into and influenced by rap music, as well as all other kinds of music, but it's not like I've made a conscious effort to stray from that or anything like that.

lols, he was removing the vid's as i was watching them.
only one song had rapping, and that was really slow and sounded more spoken word.
i think yoni is hyping us up for something that isnt gonna happen.

*track titles where
Kevins Cancer

Preemptive Nostalgia

missed the fourth.

according to his facebook, it sounds like Serengeti might do the rest of the tour with Black Moth Super Rainbow.
hopefully that's the case. either way it sucks Why's not gonna be playing

Someone mentioned that Yoni had injured his hand and it required surgery.

That song is so good. I had begun writing them off as having moved on from music, glad to be proven wrong! I really hope this EP brings a tour out of them.
