- The Needle Drop: Gonjasufi
- From
- WNPR
This week, Zola Jesus brings a modern take to the world of goth rock, and World Atlas does the best Belle & Sebastian imitation I've ever heard.
That and some mind-altering hip hop from Gonjasufi. Well, "hip hop" may not be the best description for what Gonjasufi, a dreadlocked singer and DJ, does on his debut album: A Sufi and a Killer. This release is an alternate dimension of Middle Eastern folk, funk, pop, and psychedelic rock. It's tough to tell where one influence ends and the other begins.
