FROM MERCURY TO PLUTO
Cooking With Caustic
(OBESE RECORDS)
Blue Mountain natives, Cooking With Caustic, have released their debut LP.
From Mercury To Pluto is a mash of sounds spanning from many genres over many periods. From 90’s hip hop to groove induced funk, the 10-piece collective have found their niche in the already vibrant Aussie hip hop scene.
There’s a real spacey tone to the album. It’s mixed incredibly, capturing this vibe that’s almost indescribable. One particular track, ‘The Barnacle’ is reminiscent of The Avalanche’s ‘Frontier Psychiatrist’. It’s mesmerising in its delivery. You tend to fall into a deep groove.
Cooking With Caustic have created more than just a hip hop album. They’ve created an album that would suit even the most reluctant to hip hop music.
