#2001 Shamir - Ratchet

Kid can sing, kid's got swagger, got swing, flipping between James Murphy deadpan, Twin Shadow yearning, and general giveafuck rap with backflip ease. That backing, too - so squonky, so raw, bent into all the shapes: shiteating Spank Rock fun, Hot Chip longing, and raveups worthy of, well, LCD Soundsystem.

That's a lot of checked boxes: fun, cool, weird, hooky, danceable - an effortlessly diverse, listenable bent-pop masterpiece 4.5/5
