TRACK REVIEW: Tin Ribs – Disaster Capitalism

Beginning with the characteristic sandpaper driving bass, then quick-fire lyrical brilliance – “concrete ribs from a life in retail” is a personal favourite – the quality never drops on Tin Ribs’ new track.

The change in tempo for the chorus helps it hit harder, the brief stutter and moment of silence working to really make it stand out from the rest of the song, with unabashedly half-rapped lyrics serving a nice contrast. To delve into the political satire would require way exceeding my word count; suffice to say it’s as creative as the rest of the track, its roots in Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine only a launch pad for new ideas. Listen to Tin Ribs. The music is great and you may see our dystopia differently.
