\"earl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earl Sweatshirt\u2019s<\/strong> music has been called depressing, but it\u2019s really just claustrophobic. The preternaturally talented Los Angeles native wowed fans and critics this spring with I Don\u2019t Like Shit<\/em>, I Don\u2019t Got Outside<\/em>, channeling his misanthropy into sparse beats and razor-sharp raps that taunted foes and turned on a dime. His new video from that set, for Off Top<\/em>, is perhaps his best since the slew of material that was uploaded to Myspace in 2010. <\/p>\n

Laying animated sequences over archival video footage, Earl<\/strong> burns cop cars, is gobbled up whole by disembodied mouths, bursts through the screen on a runaway train and generally doesn\u2019t give a fuck about physics or police. Earl has a packed schedule this summer; having already played a series of festivals and shows in Australia and New Zealand, he\u2019s about to kick off the indoor, domestic leg of his Ready To Leave Now tour. <\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be joined by Remy Banks<\/strong> and NxWorries<\/strong>, the duo made up of Knxwledge<\/strong> and recent Dr. Dre collaborator Anderson .Paak<\/strong>. Fans in LA can catch him tomorrow (August 8, or 8\/08) at the second annual Low End Theory Festival. (Animation for \u201cOff Top\u201d by Taylor Johnson.)<\/p>\n
