The snippet of this song that appeared on weareallgoingtoburninhellmeggmixx3 was already one of my favorite songs of the year, and now El-P let loose the full version and my initial reaction is a mild acid flashback followed by a rapidly spreading warm and sticky sensation in the crotchal region.

The description that came with the song promises good things on the horizon:

this is the full version of the song that appeared on my weareallgoingtoburninhellmeggmixx3 (gold dust) by my favorite performer in the world wilder zoby. wilder sings and produces, i co produce. its going to be on his upcoming solo record tentatively entitled “wildcat”, which i co produced with him one freezing month in louisville kentucky. wilder is on some serious smoked out space pimp shit with this one. in fact the moog keytar-through-guitar-pedal solo at the end was done drunk and high as the dickens at 5am in one take.

The upcoming album should be great, as historically Wilder (with Chin Chin) has showed plenty of aptitude for “some serious smoked out space pimp shit”. Like on GG And The Boys and Go There With You for example.

So for the most part the new El-P album/megamixxx sounds like you think it would – its a dense and cluttered dispatch from a dystopia populated entirely by brain stomping mechanical drums. Then at track 14 there’s a sharp left turn, and the suffocating claustrophobia suddenly gives way to an airy 3 minutes of proggy guitar and synth. And for a moment El-P comes kinda close to sounding like his acronym namesake.

This departure makes sense considering it’s credited to ‘Wilder Zoby ft. El-P’. Zoby is one of the co-founders of Chin Chin, and Contagious Snippet actually feels more in line with some of their work than it does with El-P’s. Regardless of who’s leading who on here, these two need to make more stuff like this asap.
