For SJ Esau’s Anticon debut, the Bristol-based bedroom virtuoso continues his masterful balance of sonic manipulation and songcraft across 12 alternately expansive and explosive tracks.
anticon’s artist collective came together in early 1998 as a loose group of longtime friends and near-strangers bound by an abiding love of both underground rap's freewheeling poetics and the break-digging and collage aesthetics of traditional hip-hop.
Because the artistic influences and interests of every soul in anticon are as scattered and diverse as the hometowns from which they come--the northeast, the midwest, and California--anticon has been obsessively filed and re-filed in a vast cross-section of musical categories.

 Anticon: We Ain't Fessin' (Double Quotes) EP: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Anticon does hip-hop the way Miles' second quintet did jazz: technically, everything's right where it belongs, it's just hard to tell because everything sounds so different.
This is hip-hop made by people who grew up with hip-hop, music created by a generation whose defining skill is their ability to absorb and interpret mass media.
Where the originators of modern hip-hop were students of soul, funk, jazz and spoken word, Anticon's revisionists are students of pop culture as a whole.

A number of New York underground MCs, including El-P and members of Company Flow, criticized their records and had a brief press war with Sole, but they were otherwise winning over new listeners with their offbeat approach.
Their growing fan base led to a relationship with acid jazz label Mush, who began exclusively distributing Anticon albums by the turn of the century.
Between the increased publicity, better distribution, and -- most importantly -- a gifted lineup of what Sole referred to as "avant-garde hip-hop," Anticon had found their niche as one of the most distinct and creative rap labels of their time.

Until the Def Jux era, the members of ANTICON were exemplars of quality rap music in message boarding’s late 90s to early 00’s creative explosion.

I remember a conversation once where I was discussing the relative merits of the Anticon collective and the rest of the "intelligent" rap fraternity (Anti Pop Consortium, Aesop Rock etc.).
Anyway, after some thought I seem to have come to the root of the problem: the majority of the lyrics are pretentious gibberish; and most of the beats are lame.
My only objection to the Anticon collective and their associates is their overblown lyrics and sterile beats.

This debut five track EP is a bicostal collaboration between the production/beat-making of anticon’s Alias and the voice and inspiration of Rosa ‘Tarsier’ Rapadas of New York’s cinematronic duo, Healamonster & Tarsier.
The EP is a lush blend of pop melodies, hushed vocals and classic anticon boom-bap beats reminiscent of Broadcast, Postal Service, Lali Puna, and Four Tet.
The song opens with a crunchy swell curling its way through an astral field, bits of noise breaking off and crackling with static before a pregnant pause and release.
