Die Antwoord: Ten$ion Vinyl LP

You couldn’t last two minutes in my world! Die Antwoord had the answer for everybody with their 2012 sophomore release, Ten$ion. Ninja, Yolandi and DJ Hi-Tek returned exactly two years after being thrust virally on to everyone and their mom’s computer screens. The sound is bigger, the attitude harder and the rave intentions bolder than anything on their debut. “I Fink You Freeky” gets things started proper while the stuttered beats of “Fatty Boom Boom” serve to turn the energy up a few notches. It’s a fun, wild and foul mouthed ride to the zef side.
