TFK is beautiful. Partially due to the heavy skillset each player (Tali Rodriguez, Sankofa, Flu) brings to the table. Here is a secret, every truly important album became that way due to chemistry. These three fit. The bars spit by Tali and Sankofa are 70’s Sci Fi art brush strokes. Imagery woven like colors that pop, glow, and warn. Why is Sankofa stepping into a freight elevator with suitcases on Quantas Gate? It’s a tense story that tightens and releases. Don’t let anyone tell you what it is about. Find it. Search the vast bombed out dystopian sonic ecosystem Flu lays out. Golem’s Grin is the kind of beat that makes your whole vehicle and those residing within it dance. This album knocks but as with all of Flu’s work it doesn’t have a dark underbelly it has a dark exoskeleton.
The glue that holds this project together is Tali Rodriguez who engineered this music into its final form once Flu carefully crafted it. The same voice steps right up to bat next to the word monster Sankofa. Fifty percent of managing professional relationships is feel. Navigating the common ground you see in different people, it is Tali who brought that feel and united TFK. It is that high level of textural understanding that should be your guide as a listener. Follow the texture.
