Let’s take them at their word:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe People want the Truth. Lamont ‘Bim’ Thomas is the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003egod(damn\/’s honest) Truth. We all know the truth isn’t always\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003epretty, and rarely is it fun -- but Thomas makes it sound like the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebest party you’ve ever been to which you’ve ever been invited. And\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003emake no mistake -- everyone is invited. Obnox is soul music for\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe bruised and battered; feel-good tunes for the righteously\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003epissed-off masses; and a sonic salve for the neglected and ignored.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWiglet -- Thomas’s third full-length of 2015 -- is part two of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEver\/Never’s double-fisted Obnox-ious assault on your eardrums\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(following current triumph Know America). If possible, Wiglet is\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThomas’ most wigged-out offering yet. Condensed into a solid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehalf-hour of fuzz, grease, sweat and fury, Wiglet is another entry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003einto Thomas now-patented, and near-effortless, blend of punk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(including garage, post and hardcore), soul and hip-hop -- all with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ean ear worthy of a warped late ‘60s studio engineer.

It may be easy\u003cbr\u003efor Thomas’ fans to detach themselves from the very real threat\u003cbr\u003ethat he faces on a daily basis, but he’s not here to help you forget.\u003cbr\u003eHe is here for the undervalued and underrepresented. But Bim\u003cbr\u003eisn’t intent on making you feel bad, quite the opposite.\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledging that the world outside of the rock n’ roll bubble is\u003cbr\u003ea fucked-up maze of paranoia and danger would be to live in a\u003cbr\u003efalse utopia. Obnox is designed to build a new reality for Thomas\u003cbr\u003eand all his like-minded allies. It is the reason for Obnox’s\u003cbr\u003estrikingly original approach to underground music. Thomas\u003cbr\u003edevours everything in his path and spits it back out at you in\u003cbr\u003eperfect little nuggets of honesty coupled with savage intensity.\u003cbr\u003eAnd like any good MC, Thomas is a poet when it comes to the\u003cbr\u003ediss:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I was in the room with you\/You called me a jigaboo\/You\u003cbr\u003esquirted across the room\/Our relationship is doomed” - “Infinite\u003cbr\u003eTrash”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas demonstrates his no-bullshit policy, unafraid to use the\u003cbr\u003elanguage that makes us blush, makes us furious. This is where\u003cbr\u003eObnox excels -- blunt reality smoked and exhaled as truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Baby when I roll up\/You bout to get told off\/Right after the\u003cbr\u003eblunt cough\/Tell you straight to fuck off\/Played me like I was\u003cbr\u003esoft\/Didn’t wanna clip your wings off\/Should’ve dogged you,\u003cbr\u003eshould’ve dissed you\/Don’t care what you’ve been through” -\u003cbr\u003e“Baby When I Roll Up”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, Thomas is showing you mercy. It’s been a hell of a ride for\u003cbr\u003eObnox in 2015. Wiglet is the final course of one hell of a meal.\u003cbr\u003eAnd the closing cover of Chrissy Zebby Tembo’s Afro-fuzz banger\u003cbr\u003e“Troublemaker” is the icing on the cake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ever\/Never Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50719252873319,"sku":"rcf1793367550408","price":18.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/4594\/9543\/files\/obnox---wiglet---new-lp_1.jpg?v=1793367568","url":"https:\/\/tullestylestore.shop\/products\/obnox-wiglet-new-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
