Seattle, Washington, famously loves all things organic, and hip-hop doesn't come more unrefined and refreshing than its homegrown Saturday Knights. The three-member outfit dreams up some of the most enthralling, somewhat unsettling, and flat-out rock-&-roll sexy concoctions around. With DJ Suspense funneling in everything from rockabilly punk to old school hip-hop through a haze of delicious distortion, the two MCs, Tilson and Barfly, toss out mischievous rhymes with an ease reminiscent of Souls of Mischief or Beastie Boys at their best. "45" kicks off the record in spectacular fashion with playful lyrics smoothed over a grooved-out Stax soul beat, and the record just wanders into its own delirious world from there, with the Dap Kings and Kim Thayil dropping by, among others.

Album Review

Mingle is right! The Saturday Knights have been a crucial part of the Seattle music scene, taking on a room of timid rock and rap dwarves with pop smarts as thick as Sonny Liston's fists. Tapping deep into their creative skills and unprecedented personal charm, Mingle is a flawlessly fluid integration of vintage rock, lady-loving soul, and trailer park punk.

DJ Suspence uses the catchiest rhythms you've heard, weaving them through crisp bursts of surf guitar and classic rock. Rhyme-swappers Tilson and Barfly's superb storytelling address twisted every-day-yet-subterranean subject matter, laid out in sweet barbershop harmonies.

Assisting on the thirteen song debut are the likes of The Dap-Kings (Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse's backing band), Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, a dash of the Muscle Shoals Horns, and Nirvana producer Jack Endino playing drums on "45."

Like Iceberg Slim chopped with MC5, Mingle boasts big beats and lighthearted laments without irony or pretension. This is definitely one trio you want to rub shoulders with... dig in.
