Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip
Repent Replenish Repeat
Four years on from their massive 'Thou Shalt Always Kill’, with a gap for respective solo outings and radio show fronting, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip return with their third album, ‘Repent Replenish Repeat’, on Sunday Best.
Beat heavy, sparse yet effective, ‘Repent Replenish Repeat’ is their most complete work yet. Ploughing a sharply defined furrow of glitched, sharp hip hop, with Pip producing his most lucid vocals whilst dan reaches for a tight production pallet of hard beats, dark strings and layered melodic reverb.
Lead off track ‘Stunner’ set the tone perfectly, premiered on Pip’s own weekly XFM radio show - the video has already clocked up over 170K plays and their Autumn tour is a sell out. Lead single Gold Teeth features production props from Flux Pavilion - an attack on consumerism with a huge beat and hook to match.
Elsewhere, there’s the atmospheric ‘Terminal’ and ‘Porter’ tackling terminal illness and mental health, the club bouncing ‘Nightbus Sleepers’, grinding ‘Heroism’ and Pip’s “last political song†‘Stiff Upper Lip’, featuring Itch, formerly of King Blues.
The success of their solo albums and their continued live profile suggest ‘Repent Replenish Repeat’ is set to repeat the trick.
