#3740 Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here

4/5 a noisy//quiet, ever-strange album that finds that sweet spot - far enough afield to be exciting without tipping into discord. Scott-Heron's words are backed with sparse, harsh energy, one moment bristling with electronics, the next laid bare with nothing of the sort. And the words themselves are personal and precise like few others could muster. One that'll stick with you
