the internet: npr music tiny desk concert

“The band might just be the oddest thing to come from Odd Future, the collective known for its irreverence — and, of course, for making hip-hop. The Internet doesn’t stand out from the rest of Odd Future because of any over-the-top antics, but because they make great R&B music. Beautiful, textured, enveloping R&B. Sure, the swagger of hip-hop is apparent in Syd’s songwriting and the swing of the beats, but that doesn’t mean it’s adulterated — theirs is some of the most refreshing neo-soul to come out in years, and it’s created by a band whose members were small children or not even born when the subgenre came to be in the mid- to late ’90s.”—Timmhotep Aku
