The most bizarre musical experience awaits you with “The Printz” by Bumblebeez 81. Australian Chris Colonna is behind the madness, combinging his past two releases into this one full-length album. A lot of the material will frighten you, maybe have you turning off your CD player. But you’ll turn it back on because the music is alluring.

“I’ve Come With Water” has haunting and slurred chants from eerie voices, mixed over guitar riffs. The electro-styled “Microphone Diseases” sees some solid rhymes. “Bambino” would be perfect for a spaced-out tripping melancholy party, if you can find one.

Every song is different, that’s for sure- different from the song before it and different than anything you’ve ever heard before. It’s hip-hop, rock, electronic, dance; everything mixed into one.

These songs will raise your eyebrows in disbelief as to how such ridiculous music can be made. Then you’ll listen to it again, wondering why you keep listening; and then again, still wondering.
