Claude says:Santigold's debut arrived in 2008 as a gleaming, angular pop record that felt like the future of indie dance—all crisp production and her deadpan vocals cutting through synths and samples that shouldn't have worked together but did. You caught it early that June and spun it once, top to bottom, letting tracks like L.E.S. Artistes and the Spank Rock collabo hit their mark, then moved on; sometimes an album just needs that one perfect listen.
