RELEASENOTES
Cage has successfully made an album
for fans and passive listeners
alike. Those who've already
witnessed the artistic liberation
of this smut peddling weatherman
will still find plenty of reasons
to keep Depart From Me close to
heart throughout the summer
From the bizarre Movies for the
Blind to the well-rounded Hell's
Winter, Cage has definitely matured
into his own, a point which becomes
even more apparent on Depart from
Me
DFM hearkens to the same visceral
undercurrent that ran through his
previous two. The album opener
"Nothing left to say" is
reminiscent of El-P s opening cut
from I'll Sleep When You're Dead
In fact, the album, as a whole
aspires to the same effect. It's
like a more rock-oriented version
of ISWYD
Like Eminem on Relapse, Cage uses
drugs as crutches to get his point
across on songs like "Kick Rocks,"
a song about a struggling addict
and "Dr. Strong," which revisits
his days as a "patient of Stony
Lodge Hospital." Unlike that other
white rapper, though, Cage doesn't
beat us over the head. (Hey fellas
this is a perfect time to reignite
that feud. I keed! I keed!!)
The songs on DFM follow a
progressive path that allows you to
sift through the album with
relative ease. From the
synth-heavy, slow-rolling tempo of
"Eating Its Way out of Me" to the
rattling funk of "Teenage Hands."
Beats by Blockhead, El-P and others
ensure that DFM stays true to an
esoteric style of hip hop that has
been very prevalent in the Def Jux
camp. The intentionally dark and
rock-heavy instrumentals coupled
with Cage's brash lyrics combine to
yield a captivating, if sometimes
onerous, sound template
Depart From Me is sometimes smart
sometimes cryptic, but it's never
boring
