WALLPAPER
K. Flay, The Dance Party, DJ Set by Menace (Live 105)
These are huge beats with infinite intricacy – the perfect tribute to Frederic’s oldest influences: P-Funk, Afrobeat, and the panoply of Bay Area rap. You’ll hear strains of Justice too, and even Eno in the minimalist pop of “Fine GF.” But one needn’t know any of this to “get” Wallpaper. Just as it thrives under scrutiny, “Doodoo Face” bangs at face value, and the record’s title is a reference to that: a contorted expression inspired by discovering something unbelievably funky. From the cavernous thump and honking sax of opener “Indecent” to the warped hyphy of “ddd” to “Doodoo Face” itself, this is dark, nasty, load-bearing booty funk of the Oakland house party variety. $16 adv/$19 door. Doors 8, show 9
