Shabazz Palaces: The Don of Diamond Dreams (Loser Edition Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP
"It remains impossible to accurately describe a Shabazz Palaces album without lapsing into cosmic tropes. Yet sometimes clichés are stand-ins for eternal truths. Therein, The Don of Diamond Dreams embodies a futuristic manifestation of ancient myth, full of robotic vocoder and warped auto-tune, Funkadelic refracted into different dimensions, weird portals and warm nocturnal joy rides alongside the coast. The synthesizers are alien but the drums speak a universal language. It is hip-hop, dub, jazz, R&B, soul, funk, African, experimental, and occasionally even pop. But over the course of five albums, Shabazz Palaces have conceived the fluid boundaries of their own one-band genre." - Sub Pop
- fifth full-length album from Shabazz Palaces (aka Ish 'Butterfly' Butler of Digable Planets)
- Loser Edition clear+silver swirl colored vinyl pressing
- printed insert
- digital download included
- limited edition
- music label: Sub Pop 2020
