New Super Chron Flight Brothers track WINGS from upcoming LP INDONESIA!

The Super Chron Flight Brothers are back for the first time since 2007’s dark horse of an LP, Emergency Powers. The album is called Indonesia, and is less a follow-up to their debut than it is a side-project collaboration with Cali-based producer Marmaduke. Indonesia has a release date of 4/20/09 and with that, a first single; “Wings” available for download here:

For those not in the know, the entire Indonesia album is going to be available for free digital download. For those of you who are interested in a hard copy, we have a very special treat; An autographed DOUBLE CD version of Indonesia. The first CD will be a high quality version of the album, the second disc is a blend of album instrumentals and remixes by an array of producers including BOND, Willie Green, Nasa (Uncommon Music), Ravage (Monsta Island Czars), Essex Dogs and A.M. Breakups. We should have the double CD’s by the beginning of May, at the latest and we will also make the deluxe version available via iTunes.

MarQ Spekt’s GUILTY PARTY FREE DOWNLOAD

For the past decade MarQ Spekt has been underground hip-hop’s Bobby Fischer. Popping up on tracks and ripping them to shreds before melting back into the night. Half-myth, half-legend, Spekt has somehow been a part of every significant movement in the east-coast underground for ten years, without ever fully emerging from the shadows. Originally signed to Subverse with MF DOOM and The Micronauts, his 2001 Liquid Smoke b/w Shoplifter 12″ is an Ebay classic. Add to that his blazing cameos on Big Jus’ [Company Flow] albums, the Broady Champs group album that dropped on Day by Day Entertainment at the height of their success, and his never-officially-released Pretty Weapons solo album, and you have the makings of an underground legend. In 2008, Spekt stepped out of the shadows and teamed up with prolific NYC fixture, Karniege, as the Invizzibl Men. The result was a futuristic banger of an album, The Unveiling, that sported guest spots from Cannibal OX, C-Rayz Walz and Billy Woods, amongst others.

Now Backwoodz Studioz is proud to present Guilty Party, a brand new collaborative project with MarQ Spekt and producer Lex Boogie From the Bronx. One producer, one MC; Guilty Party is a stylistic return to the gritty mid-nineties basement sessions that Spekt hones his craft in. It’s a return to lo-fi, extra filthy samples and hard-as-granite lyrics. Spekt is an Mc’s MC, but on this project he expanded his palette by co-producing beats with Lex Boogie as the two came to boil down the essence that is Spekt.

MarQ put it best saying “This free album is a dedication to raw hip-hop coming from the heart. No million dollar studio tricks or Autotune, or even big name collaborations. This is just sky diving with the pen.”

Indonesia- Two If By Land, Four If By Sea

The Flight Brothers may have been quiet since Emergency Powers and it’s companion disc Tour Support dropped in early 2007 but Priviledge and the venerable Mr. woods have been hard at work. That work will pay off with two new releases in 2009, starting with Indonesia and following up with Cape Verde. Indonesia will be a FREE DOWNLOAD but will also be available as a limited edition vinyl LP  for all you luddites out there who are still willing to pay us for our artistic efforts [we love you!]. Expect it to drop inn January.

Production on Indonesia is handled primarily by DJ Marmaduke [Megagraphitti, Terror Firma, The Chalice] with assistance from longtime Backwoodz producer DR MONOKROME. Add to that beats from Nasa [Uncommon Music] and electro-dub impressario Teleseen and you’ve got an interesting soundscape for the Brothers to fly over.

As for Cape Verde…well, one thing at a time…
