WORDBURGLAR: 3 new(-ish) songs for FREE!!



New music from Wordburglar is starting to come a little more frequently lately, with three new songs for free online since the release of Backburner’s Heatwave.

First of these is his collaboration with producer Vince Vandal for “Forward Front Facer,” their contribution to The Nerdy Show’s Marvel vs Capcom 3 Mixtape Melee: Marvel Combatants. See him in the top right corner up there? Now hear his comic-book-inspired song here:

Wordburglar - “Forward Front Facer” (produced by Vince Vandal)

tracklisting:

1. Adam WarRock - “Destroyer of Worlds” (produced by Vince Vandal)
2. Wordburglar - “Forward Front Racer” (produced by Vince Vandal)
3. Tribe One - “Gene Trash” (produced by Vince Vandal)
4. Storyville - “X-Men” (produced by MC Squared)


Next up is “So Much Time,” his collaboration with producer Abstrack for the latter’s upcoming album Digital Brain. Wordburglar has made the song available for free on his Bandcamp page.

And I don’t know how I have continued to miss mentioning one of my favourite songs about Star Wars, not just this year but ever… “Dude, Where’s My AT-AT At?” stars The Garthim-Master and Wordburglar as two bumbling stormtroopers who have misplaced their vehicle… From The Garthim-Master’s Ghosts of Nostalgia.

If you like these songs, why not give over a little time to checking out the rest of these artists’ albums, eh?

BACKBURNER: Indierockmag.com loves Heatwave!



Thank you to Rabbit and Indierockmag.com, fast becoming one of our favourite resources out of France, for a fabulous review of Heatwave. Aside from declaring Heatwave to be one of the best hip hop albums of 2011, Rabbit also added:

“Car une fois n’est pas coutume le papier tenant toutes ses promesses (y compris celle de voir sa confiance sexuelle multipliée par neuf par simple contact avec le CD, essayez donc de passer en soirée le boom bap enflammé de Freak Show Physics ou l’éponyme Heatwave aussi délicat dans ses boucles de clavier que primal dans ses drums et vous comprendrez) c’est à un véritable festival de punchlines et autres boucles assassines que nous convie la petite troupe.”

BACKBURNER: Herohill Quick Hitters review of Heatwave



Once again I want to thank our good friends over at Herohill who followed up their Deeper Into Music feature on Backburner’s Heatwave with a review of the album. Herohill offers some sound advice:

“If you’re familiar with any of these guys, you know they make that throwback-inspired hip hop: strictly quality production, mic skills and lyrics. No weak club-hop to be found on Heatwave, so seriously, go get this album if you don’t have it.”
