Flight Distance break bodies under the gears of the apparatus on “All Crushed Up Under the Same Terrible Wheel”

Like a Trotsky reference in a Dennis Miller routine, Flight Distance are complex. In a post-Def Jux world, they’ve tapped into a cold vein in the classical sense; Canadian huskies spitting that Anthony Haney over some of the most expensive beats on any 2011 indie rap release not featuring Clams Casino. Not cold like Ontario but cold like getting snuffed for chemo funds on pay day, or cold like the B. Simpson sneaks from ’92 with a crisp varsity jacket. The duo, Bender and Patience, are word-obsessed conduits of the outre and GZA-like in their focus, spitting darts like throwing blades and dropping bludgeoning Taxi Driver-rap with an esoteric list of lyrical and sonic reference points and influences. Words etched out in lattice, playing with phrases until schemes envelop themselves like collapsing stars, their tracks prove that if “the devil’s in the details” then FL are Crowley in Khmer Rouge garb.

Now the group has released the video for “All Crushed Up Under the Same Wheel” from their pulpy sophomore release Bad Information. Check out the fittingly grimy video for the track below as well as the previous joint, “Can’t Sleep When I’m Sober,” the album stream for Bad Information, and purchase links for merch
