Kingston's Mavado has been around for a minute, but never really stood out from any other gravely-voiced West Indians until this song, which is basically what would have happened if Depeche Mode had grown up in Jamaica. Overwrought electronic effects swirl around vaguely menacing lyrics, drum machines go apeshit, and I feel slightly uncomfortable. Good times. Buy this nice pirate-themed comp from iTunes here.As a general matter, Fader continues to step up their game, particularly on the blog front (and good for them, that whole marketing company confluence thing was getting annoying).
(Photos of Mavado floating around the internet are either of his Mortal Kombat namesake, or of him trying to look scary, so I ran with this one of Captain America playing the tambourine instead)
