NEW VIDEO BY JOYNER LUCAS
Pitchfork (Jayson Greene) probably summed it up best when they debuted this song back in May by revealing, “Joyner Lucas is a rapper without the benefit of a style or crew or movement around him—he’s from Worcester, MA, so he doesn’t even really have a vital local rap scene. He’s not really participating in any of the national rap conversations happening right now, as a result, and the closest he’s come to an industry cosign might have been in 2012, when the Alchemist picked a track he submitted in a contest to be released on Decon. But he’s making good records, and “Half Ni**er” is a great, clear-eyed song, with a fluid, conversational delivery.”

Streaming now in its entirety one week prior to its official release on Tuesday, July 8 via NPR “First Listen,” No Coast, an album that was recently deemed “a blueprint for the elder statespersons of emo returning to the fold” by All Songs Considered, contains 12 of the most technically and lyrically creative songs ever penned by the Champaign-Urbana, IL- based quartet. Featuring a rousing collection of textures, as well as the combined signature vocals provided by guitarists Bob Nanna and Chris Broach, the album presents itself as the fitting follow up to the band’s career defining, 1998 indie-rock classic Frame & Canvas.

Hailed as one of this year’s most promising acts to emerge out of Australia’s fertile indie scene, the duo gained international acclaim and domestic airplay with their self-produced and self-released debut EP, “Noctua”, and singles “All Good Things Must Come To An End” and “Sparrow” (with its accompanying MTV Iggy and MTV Buzzworthy-championed video, directed by James Chappell).
