RJD2 is currently on a tour promoting his new album, The Third Hand, which in my opinion was reviewed way too harshly by the pompous pricks over at Pitchfork....read the review here.
Sure it was nothing like Deadringer, but that was the point of this album: to get away from the hip-hop instrumental style and soulful samples that he was known for and to move onto something different. People are not so down with change I guess but this album shows his ability to play and arrange virtually any instrument. Some say that he sings too much on the new album and that it is too indie-rockish but even if it is not his greatest work, it is still not as bad as some say it is. Not even close.
I witnessed his talent on Monday night as he played a short but sweet set at La Tulipe. The first three are classic RJD2 tracks and the last three are off the new album. You be the judge kids.
