Paranoia Star

Firstlin3 crawled out the mud in 2017, spit up six gnarled pieces of ritual regueton, and sunk back in. Then came four years of ambient bass meditation and four full-lengths of alien-angelic soundscapes under the name Concrete Fantasies. All the while, Firstlin3 was exploring the tunnels that run through the underbelly of Babylon, recruiting allies for a sonic war on the city. Paranoia Star is the first attack. Backed by a squad of the global underground’s most loced out digital devils, Firstlin3 hops between clow rap, trancehall and skeledub, all black cat smooth and dank enough to smell through the sub. Recorded from summer ’21 to summer ’22 under a cloud of gorilla glue so thick it spread from Spain to Egypt, Portugal, Japan and the UK, Paranoia Star is a spell, a joke and a fucking earthquake tearing through the doomed megalopolis.
