Since the release of their debut EP back in 2008, and over the course of a subsequent EP and superb debut album Silent Machine, Twelve Foot Ninja have consistently maintained their output.
Twelve Foot Ninja opens new doors to what the concept of rock music can be, through their seamless juxtaposing of heavy rock, metal, funk, hip hop, jazz, latin, pop, electronica, world music and just about any other sound they can throw in. And they make everything stick like musical Velcro, even the subtle touch of didgeridoo on Sick.
On Outlier, Twelve Foot Ninja have done it again. The record is a true fusion of styles, bringing it all together to create super catchy, downright fun tracks that make your fist pump, your head bob and force you to sing along with frontman Kin Etik’s infectious vocals.
If you want to hear a band pull off a miracle, that is, music that is absolutely scattered to the four winds but completely focused and cohesive at the same time, check out Twelve Foot Ninja. Outlier is a great place to start.
