Beginning with “Bitch,” which White Lines and Versace (WLAV) never quite comes right out to say and instead carefully only alludes to and heavily masks under breathy synths, MEAT is a dramatic instrumental album that seems to aim to make you uncomfortable and glancing over your shoulders even … Continue reading WLAV Binds Suspension, Horror and Addicting Electro-Beats on MEAT
