Bitter Better/Kindness Weakness [LP]

Le Motel/Magugu - Bitter Better/Kindness Weakness [LP]

Label boss Le Motel and versatile pidgin-rap experimentalist Magugu return to Maloca for their second full-length EP, Bitter Better. Drawing roots once again from across the full club music continuum, the release is a tour de force through rugged rhythmic workouts and self-assured vocal flows as the duo continue to develop their shared universe. The EP marks a long-standing collaborative relationship which has existed between the two artists since 2021. Bitter Better shows them at their best as they continue to experiment across any BPM and genre possible, further unifying a collective musical voice defined by Le Motel's signature organic percussive detail and Magugu's confident and dynamic vocal delivery. Anthemic, heavy and unashamedly fun throughout, standard conventions get thrown out of the window from the first track. Available on vinyl, Bitter Better is also the artists' first ever shared physical release -- all five tracks appearing on side A. On the B side, the duo's first EP, 2023's Kindness Weakness can be found, making this record a must-have for long standing fans and those just discovering Le Motel and Magugu's output. A1.
