Details: Product Description Apostle of Hustle Amazon.ca Sometimes you're in a Stereolab mood, sometimes a Latin Playboys mood, sometimes a Sea and Cake mood. And sometimes you're just the genius that hops fluidly between each disparate sound, making them all continuous--singing a Lorca poem in Spanish, playing in a haze of organ and guitar and fuzzy rhythms. That's Apostle of Hustle for you, the ensemble led by Andrew Whiteman, better known as Broken Social Scene's guitarist. Like BSS, Apostle is a giant mix-up, with spacey interludes of guitar, shuffling drums, and piano right next to a laconic vocal, a voice that gets shoved into choruses by suddenly driving guitars. The highlights on National Anthem are the rockers, "Justine, Beckoning" and the title track, both frontloaded with a wall of guitar that's infused with keys and horns as the vocals peek from behind an artful gauze. This is a visionary album, easy to consume repeatedly. --Andrew Bartlett
