Land Of Make Believe

Editors’ Notes "On their third album (following The In Crowd and School Was My Hustle), NYC-via-Chicago duo Naledge and Double O go for a dramatically different sound, jettisoning their early golden-era boom- bap vibe in favor of ‘80s-style pop anthems, hyper-sensitive self-reflection, and lots more keyboards. The high-fashion shout-outs are still there, as is the endless barrage of lofty ego-stroking, but musically their new approach is one that you will either love or hate, zeroing in on the Kanye/Kid Cudi fanbase for better or for worse. Double O's sample-free production runs the gamut from exceptionally funky (""L_O_V_E,"" ""Rise & Shine"") to jaw-droppingly corny (""Take Over The World,"" ""Simple Life""), and just about everything in between. Destined to be featured on some sort of television-show nightclub soundtrack, this is custom-made party music for kids who glamorize the ‘80s, but are too young to actually remember them. "
