Fantastic Negrito – Plastic Hamburgers

| Fantastic Negrito - Plastic Hamburgers |
Release Date: Out Now
The rattle of the guitar on this
track followed by the balls-out rock’n’roll guitar vs Hammond organ makes this
one of the most appealing openings to a track I’ve heard in a very, very long
time. Oakland’s Fantastic Negrito is new to me, but I’m already hooked and ‘Plastic
Hamburgers’ is a great gateway drug for this intoxicating music. Let’s break it
down, Fantastic Negrito starts with the rattling blues, injects it with a heavy
dose of the funk, overlays it with some potent social awareness and then wraps
it up with a tighter than tight band that rocks. Hard. I had to check that Tom
Morello wasn’t behind this in some way and if Ben Harper or Lenny Kravitz were
in the band you wouldn’t be surprised or disappointed. I’m calling this one
early, this is on my shortlist for single of the year. There, I said it.
