While Remi's incredible Raw X Infinity album has probably been my favorite Australian hip-hop record of the year, these guys have been a pretty damn close second. Melbourne duo Milwaukee Banks has been carving out their own niche, pushing the boundaries of the genre Down Under.
After dropping their buzz-heavy debut EP Rose Water earlier this year, they have returned with new music, with a twist. Given their recent remix EP (including reworks from the likes of LUCIANBLOMKAMP and RaRa), collaborations aren't a surprise, but they've taken this release another step up. Joining forces with local production mastermind Andrei Eremin on the first of two releases, "Van Gogh" might just be their finest work to date. Smooth and laid-back, the gorgeous production settles in around Dyl Thomas' well-pronounced rhymes.
The second single from the release, "Monitor," is due out on December 1, and will feature Melbourne electronic outfit Rat & Co.
Once again, Milwaukee Banks have given us another taste of the future of Australia's hip-hop community. And once again, the result is delicious.
