cool music alert!

How can I describe the constellations? I've seen them described as "ghettotech," which i'm pretty sure is a term their public relations guy made up. The thing about this band is that their songs defy genre trends really. Trashy funk-ified techno is the phrase that comes to mind when thinking about the songs felicia or or step right up. In "Step right up" the words alone (written by the illustrious tom waits) put your head smack dab in the kind of dive that leaves you smelling like cigarettes for days. Felicia has you imagining the Venus of the 21st century, who is naturally pretty trashy. Love is a murder and setback seem more indie electro-rock to me. They've got a bit of angst, anger and a lot of wit. They've got a rotating set of singers and rappers filling in on different songs, including someone who does a freaking fantastic tom waits impression if it isn't the man himself. I haven't gotten to all the songs on the album because there are five that i'm solidly addicted to (four of which i've mentioned here. But it was worth buying the album even if i only listen to those five songs. I mean, i'm sure i'll get to the rest eventually.
