Apostle of Hustle - National Anthem of Nowhere

It’s easy to lose yourself in this one. The music swirls around until you lose track of time and you can feel yourself floating in the space inhabited only by the sound. Apostle of Hustle felt like giving their listeners some time inside; just under 50 minutes incase you were wondering. National Anthem of Nowhere is the excellent sophomoric release from this Arts & Crafts band. It was new, it was love. This music treads new ground but does not forget, nor neglect, its roots. The Spanish flavours are still here, in words and music; tracks like Rafaga!, sung in Spanish, allow non-Spanish speaking folks to fully realize the strength of the music; the somewhat atmospheric feel. Of course, Folkloric Feel was largely folk and National Anthem of Nowhere is not, although there are a few folk cuts. I hate genres, indie rock? alternative? alternative to what?; this music is everything at once except for what was left out. Turn on, tune in, drop out.
