having recorded albums for such labels as xl and planet mu, and with a recent steve lamacq single of the week for 'libertania', capitol k returns with full length number six. the first track on 'notes from life on the wire with a wrecking ball' unfolds gradually in classic capitol k style with the beat poet driven, nostalgic rave of 'diamond skys', the energy rises with the deconstructed bosa-nova of 'go go go', again influenced by the early days of the beat period where people shouted go go go at poetry readings to show their appreciation. things slow down a little for the aforementioned single 'libertania'. next up, 'acid favela' takes the gigantic favela funk 'rambo' anthem (popularized in the west by diplo and m.i.a) and mixes in acid 303's and shoe-gazing riffage like only capitol k can. 'drum st' is a protest song as drum st was a big artist community that much of this album was written in that is now demolished by big buck property developers. 'freak' is a progressive hyperfunk about a love life freaking out over a cut up 2- step beat. 'impression', is part 2 of 'freak', reflecting on a love with a sense of stillness and calm, musically revisiting k's penchant for revealing serene melodies from dictaphone tape cut ups.
