Czarface – The Odd Czar Against Us (Vinyl)
Rap supergroup Czarface (consisting of Wu-Tang Clan's Inspectah Deck and 7L & Esoteric) have been heavily inspired by comics, not only for their artwork and action-packed content, but for their collectability.
The Odd Czar Against Us is the project's third full-length of 2019, following their triumphant collaboration with Ghostface Killah, and while it's as exciting as the group's usual output, what's surprising is how it deviates from their usual sound and lyrical content.
While there are a few combat scenes, such as on opener "Bizarro," many of the lyrics discuss technology, and how it often complicates modern life. Likewise, the music is sometimes far from the golden age throwback expected of the group, exploring minimalist synth-funk on tracks like the laid-back "Me's Company" and dancehall reggae on the fun, scattered "Call Me," which expresses the woes of cell phone miscommunication to a bumping sound system beat.
Tracklist:
A1 Bizarro
A2 Call Me
A3 The Gift That Keeps On...
A4 Me's Company
A5 Dear Computer
A6 Burrito
B1 Brother Czarquis
B2 Couch
B3 Double Dragon
B4 The Problem With Frank
B5 Dog
B6 Czartis Gilmore (The Cool Down)

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
