When Boys Cry

Description

With When Boys Cry, Selector Dub Narcotic continues the wild party begun on his previous projects, taking us on a new EP that is as danceable as it is emotional. Still backed by Oregon hip-hop producer Smoke M2D6, he delivers four tracks that are raw, touching, and resolutely groovy, where wobbly beats and catchy melodies playfully respond to each other. The title track, "When Boys Cry," casts a melancholic haze over fraying emotional ties. "Love Don't Come Around" explores the detours of inspiration and the unforeseen consequences of desire. "Excuse Moi," with its cheeky groove, injects an irresistible dose of lightness, while "California Trippin'" reminds us that joy, even fleeting, hides in every turn of daily life. Between lo-fi hip-hop, DIY pop, and mutant funk, When Boys Cry is a concentrate of emotions and rhythms, as perfect for dancing in a living room as for late-night introspection. Available on 12'' 45 rpm from K Records, it's the kind of rare item that makes tears beautiful and bodies light.
