I frickin' love Laika. Can't quite remember how I got turned on to it. I'm a slut when it comes to poly-rhythms, good bass work and fantastic vocals, and Laika fits the bill. Was really interesting to hear that Margaret Fielder was into Eric B and Rakim. I'm a hip-hop head as well and to read that, well; just goes to show one should never make assumptions in this information age. The PJ Harvey connection is also interesting, although I like PJH for different reasons than (that?) I like Laika. The first PJH record is just brilliant. It's just straight up, gut punching rock, which I like to. Could rant on and on about all this but I think I'll leave it at a Laika quote from one of my favorite songs: Lower than the stars. There is nothing to stare at. Stare. Great interview. I frickin’ love Laika. Can’t quite remember how I got turned on to it.
