Highly engaging and promising stuff from the Lakota camp, home to JJ72 and the Ultra Montanes, and just in time for summer too. 8 Ball are already demonstrating a wily versatility and sense of accomplishment that many other myopic bands can barely muster in a whole album; ‘Strange Boy’ is a warmly stirring, woody and plaintive acoustic number, while ‘How Many Times’ is a chilled out slice of understated exquisiteness, punctuated by ultra-modern hip-hop beats.
