THE INTERNET: (Singing) They going to get us to come together. Thanks to Dave Davies for hosting last week while I was on vacation. Our associate producer of digital media as Molly Seavy-Nesper. Our technical director and engineer is Audrey Bentham. I hope you'll join us.įRESH AIR's executive producer is Danny Miller. It's also about the Obama administration's response and the mixed messages it sent. We'll also discuss his new book about covering the Egyptian revolution and subsequent coup when Kirkpatrick was Cairo bureau chief. My guest will be David Kirkpatrick, a New York Times international correspondent based in London. Tomorrow on FRESH AIR, we'll talk about President Trump's billionaire friend who helped connect Trump to Arab princes. GROSS: Ken Tucker is critic-at-large for Yahoo TV. Restless, always searching for the right mood, this is music for modern lovers who are too smart to settle for less. The superficial cool one presents to the world melts in the warmth of one-on-one connection. Adventures can be determined by a feeling of loneliness or by receiving an intriguing text. People are deciding whether to go out to a club or stay in. TUCKER: In the world of The Internet, it's always midnight. Watching from the crowd, it's astounding. So every time that you perform, I learn just a little more. THE INTERNET: (Singing) My love, I thought you knew. Listen to the way her voice emerges from the slamming beat of the drums on "Bravo." She muses about the way a lover puts on a good front, trying to disguise less than noble behavior. Most of the songs on "Hive Mind" stake out a medium tempo, which allows Syd's singing to take on a conversational rhythm. TUCKER: The low-boil funkiness on that song "Come Over" is typical of "Hive Mind," an album that sounds influenced by a variety of precursors - the disco band Chic, the guitar playing of Ernie Isley of The Isley Brothers, the layered vocals and dense instrumentation of Earth, Wind and Fire. And I doubt I'm the only one who thinks she's intentionally quoting the title of Prince's 1980 album "Dirty Mind."
I can turn you on with my dirty mind, she says. On another song called "Come Over," Syd tries to tempt an object of her desire to come over to her house late at night for a tryst. TUCKER: That's Roll (Burbank Funk), the first single off the album. THE INTERNET: (Singing) Listen to your heart. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "ROLL (BURBANK FUNK)") And his occasional lead vocals are a nice contrast to Syd's. His guitar and bass are all over the album. On the new album, guitarist Steve Lacy takes on a prominent role. She and keyboardist Matthew Martin, who uses the name Matt Martians, formed the core of The Internet. Lead singer Sydney Bennett, who used to call herself Syd Tha Kid and now goes simply by Syd, was Odd Future's sound engineer. TUCKER: The Internet emerged from the Los Angeles music collective Odd Future, whose most famous members are probably Tyler the Creator and Frank Ocean. Anger, all the misbehavior got you feeling anxious all the time. Lately I've been going crazy, begging you stay 'cause I just want you safe. But maybe we should stay cooped up like we don't know what moonlight is. THE INTERNET: (Singing) There's another new love. And at a time when much of our most popular music is digital pop, this is a combination of both digitally processed sounds and music played by humans on old-fashioned instruments like the guitar. There are jazz chord changes here and there. KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: That is the most typical sound of The Internet on this new album "Hive Mind" - a cool, verging-on-chilly lead vocal as the music surges and pulses, a mixture of funk, disco and neo-soul. Should've met you when I had the chance 'cause I'll probably never see you again. THE INTERNET: (Singing) You were nothing but a moment, a face. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "NEXT TIME/HUMBLE PIE") Now the band is back with a new album, its fourth, called "Hive Mind." And rock critic Ken Tucker says he's glad they got back together.
Each of them did just that with varying degrees of success. The quintet, which specializes in danceable R&B, went on hiatus soon after that, agreeing that each member would release a solo project before reforming. The band called The Internet released an album in 2015 called "Ego Death" that was nominated for a Grammy.
