This emphasis on transience and communal memory remains central to the project’s ethos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eSOTC II\u003c\/em\u003e the New York outfit channels said philosophy into a 15-track album recorded by bandleader Gio Escobar and core collaborators Jack “Wacko” Nolan, Buz “Man-man” Donald, and Clérida “Ca$h Clay” Eltimé. The result is a tense, genre-defacing record that exists between fried psychedelia, rock-n-roll, no-wave rap, r\u0026amp;b, and post-hardcore energy; a mirror to a national moment of searching for meaning\/nothing\/sounds\/silence\/creation\/or destruction, through an overarching instability, alienation, decline, and refusal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatured artists include: The Warlockettes, Ladybug Mecca, Styles P, Bubba Dupree, Claudette Ortiz, Sonia Sanchez, Solange, Danny Brown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XL Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":51561518956822,"sku":"RMX-71212","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51561518989590,"sku":"RMX-71213","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a57511ac6fc393d74a35366.jpg?v=1784107388","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/standing-on-the-corner-sotc-ii","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
