The Beauty

The Beauty Ghettotech / Soul / R&B "2 MUTHA-LOVIN PAPAS TWEAK FUNK 2 MAKE PUNKS FREAK" PORTLAND, OREGON United States "Good god, the Beauty sounds like Kid A got smooshed into Kid Icarus and created SuperKid Density (Density's Child?). Complicated and relentless, this duo is nothing like you'd expect, because it's hard to anticipate their mix of digital distort-crunch beats, near-Michael Jackson breathy beatbox yawps, and disturbing, unpredictable funkiness. This is the sound of Marvin Gaye getting himself a copy of GarageBand and bitsmashing the shit out of every drum loop. It makes sense that their MySpace page lists George Michael and Prince as influences; what's more of a head-scratcher is that, conceivably, someone reading this may not have yet pledged allegiance to the Beauty's funky flag." - PORTLAND MERCURY http://www.myspace.com/wearethebeauty soundclick.com/thebeautyus
