EATM “DILF”

Let’s get this out of the way: DILF is not an acronym.

EATM (Eli and The Mannings to their mothers) are clear on that. What DILF is, according to the band, is a movement, a mindset, a shot of whiskey poured into an innocent’s ear, and an enlightenment burrito with extra guac. We’re not going to argue.

DILF is EATM’s 18th album and their fifth for blocSonic. It comes hot on the heels of Backyard Gods and MEAT EATM, and that pace makes sense once you know how they work… about 90% of what this collective records is made up on the spot. Very little planning. No safety net. Just a room full of heads and a record button.

And it’s quite a room. Headsnack and Shred Lexicon come from Regenerated Headpiece, the NYC hip-hop outfit that opened for Public Enemy and got a nod from Robert Christgau. With them are Man Halen on guitar, Old Yist on samplers, MC Doctor President on vocals and trombone, King Moose Juice on bang box, Donny Bassball on bass, and Nicolo Toscani on vocals. Every member has a spirit animal. Donny Bassball’s is a bass. The fish kind.

That’s twenty-two tracks caught the moment they happened, and they’ll never happen the same way again. That’s the point. In a world that scripts everything, EATM won’t.

DILF is out now. Download it in FLAC, MP3 or OGG, and surrender your heart to it.

Stay spontaneous, and pass it on.
