Guerilla Toss are set to release the remix/version/reworking of their music, a musical creation mixed, manipulated and imagined through the prism of ideas that is Giant Claw (Orange Milk Records). Giant Claw is also known to many as Keith Rankin, an in-demand artist / graphic designer, tied to Guerilla Toss by illustrating the bold LP images from their DFA debut LP Eraser Stargazer, as well as the cover for this very release.
What we have here is an EP entitled Giant Claw VS Guerilla Toss, and is in the spirit of dub records though one where the 2 parties might meet @ Palisades rather than Uptown. Giant Claw takes five prime Guerilla Toss tracks and zaps them with his wild blend of elastic 808 rhythms, merging the crazy vocal sample style he is known for with Kassie’s sing/shout rapid-fire poetic delivery.
It is a unique formula and it sees Giant Claw find a surprising elements or 2 or 3 within all five “Versions”. The through-line that pulls all tracks together is the faithful analog stems VS MIDI triggered fully digital sounds, all clashing together into a glorious groove.

Underrated follow up to BOAND. Both HKE and Tele have evolved their sound quite a lot since then, and this comes off as a more musically coherent album. Holo

I haven't heard anything like this album. Somehow it feels like a perfect description of the disconnected/hyper-connected place society finds itself in, I like that there is an ambiguousness about this work; it's not clear if artifical intelligences are here to help us or destroy us. Ferraro allows the listener space to think for themselves in his own distinctive vision. I paint while listening to this album, I find it creatively very inspiring. David Hilliard

Deep Thoughts is a true journey. Consisting of ten untitled tracks and each one sounding like it would be perfectly at home in either a 90s PC game or in the kind of educational 90s VHS tape you'd watch in 3rd grade. Although the songs are untitled, each one is completely unique and stands out, and each conjures different emotions and visuals. Some tracks are whimsical, others are frightening-including one that pauses to sound off gunshots. A must-have. mushroom_king1994
