13 & God combines the hip-hop cadence and intensity of Oakland foursome Themselves with the dreamy, quixotic electro pop of German experimental trio the Notwist. Its upcoming release, Own Your Ghost (out May 17 via Anticon), is 13 & God’s first studio effort in six years, and its diverse blend of glitchy electronic beats, fluttering string/key instruments and vocals that sounds like a breathy Thomas Mars makes you feel like you’re in a really hip, haze-filled after-hours club chatting it up with a group of really exciting, lucid friends. The promo video for first single “Armored Scarves” is just a teaser for what is to come.
