"they sing to the darkest night." | music

well, now we know what Spymob look like.
whoa, who knew they'd released an album - back in in 1996, no less.

looking through the Spymob site:

Pharrell Williams, however, had it all mapped out. The visionary Neptunes producer foresaw endless possibilities after hearing Spymob’s much-buzzed-about demo. “They reminded me of the music I grew up with,” he says. “Their songs sounded like Steely Dan crossed with the Meters and Prince and it just blew me away.” Williams sang Spymob’s praises to his attorney, who, unbeknownst to him, already represented the band. Meetings ensued, ideas were exchanged and excitement built as Williams told Spymob drummer Eric Fawcett, “I’m gonna blow Spymob up. Everyone is gonna know who you are.”

oh, and how right he was. the first thing i did after hearing the N*E*R*D album was looking up who the fuck played those instruments. true. that band is tight.

and here's some amazingly unexpected good news for Clipse fans out there:

"On October 7, you can expect Clipse's title TBD to issue in 2CD Limited Edition w/ bonus DVD"

actually, according to the VA Clipse site, the album is to be entitled "Hell Hath No Fury".
