Saul Williams' 'Volcanic Sunlight' Ready To Dazzle The US On 11.11.11

Don't be confused, this is indeed the album that came out in Europe a little while ago. The US release date for Saul Williams' 4th studio album 'Volcanic Sunlight' is this Friday, 11.11.11. Willams states: "Some listen to music to reinforce a mood, an idea of a time/place, to embody a mind-state, a lightness, to sharpen or dull an edge. I make music to jump off of that edge and explore. (...) Don't believe the hype- the outside world, that many of us have been taught to fear, is filled with more love than anything else. Yes, there is ignorance. Yes, there is violence. Yes there is greed and crime. But there is something beneath all of that, and it has been fighting it's way through all cultural variations and traditions, norms and differences. And that thing, that force, that common ground, and the energy that transforms, is what I call Volcanic Sunlight."
Are you ready? To warm you up, here are (again) the first two videos off the album, the unclassifiable percussion-heavy 'Explain My Heart' and the funky 'Dance'. The album can be pre-ordered here. - L C-D

Comment by JahHannibal Abba-Ra (eric james) on November 7, 2011 at 6:28pm: Always one of my "favs." Since seeing him in Slam, i knew Saul would be going places. He cannot be pigeon-holed, put in a box, limited to a genre, or nailed to the wall! This brother is of an eclectic, electric, universal consciousness, that to criticize him is just to admit you are in darkness with the depth of his enlightened reach. His work with people from DJ Spooky to Trent Reznor - from Not In My Name; Amethyst Rock Star; to The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust! is a testament to the expansive nature of his knowledge and the results are all works to be studied and explored.
