Shabazz Palaces - "They Come In Gold" + 'Lese Majesty' LP Details
May 06, 2014
Shabazz Palaces drops the new single "They Come In Gold" ahead of their forthcoming Lese Majesty LP, which is slated to arrive on July 29th via Sub Pop Records. The track, which picks up where Black Up left off, sports a tight track with off-kilter percussion, a cosmic-robotic aesthetic and the endearing vocal of frontman Palaceer Lazaro. Lazaro and Baba Maraire recently previewed the upcoming project at a gig in Seattle. The homies at Okayafrica dropped an insightful breakdown of the project's title and the thinking behind the upcoming release:
Their new record is titled Lese Majesty — a subtle anglicization of the French ‘Lèse-majesté’ (which translates to an attack on either a sovereign power or deeply rooted beliefs and customs).
