Gawd Bless The Faceless Cowards' counters the left of left-field raps of Circus (head honcho of The Shapeshifters) with Andre Afram Asmar's elaborate, dub inflected world-beats. The results collage the socially relevant tones and playfulness of daisy-age hiphop with the otherworldly word and sound barrage of space-rap. Asmar's bed of glitchy, expertly processed rhythms pulse and flow as Circus' stream of consciousness lyrics dissect religious dogma, political power struggles, alien abductions, reptilian invaders, doomed relationships, and sucker emcees. A true collaboration, both artists veer slightly from their established forms to produce this strange and often hilarious joyride.
