CD Banks* & Steelz* – Anything But Words

Banks & Steelz – Anything But Words (2016)

An unlikely but masterfully executed collaboration, Anything But Words brings together two heavyweights of the alternative and hip-hop worlds: Interpol frontman Paul Banks and Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA. Born from a mutual love of chess, this project defies expectations by blending Banks' signature "Joy Division-y" baritones and minor-key melodies with RZA’s reinvigorated, versatile flows.

The album showcases a bold fusion of genres, characterized by sick beats, infectious hooks, and a uniquely menacing atmosphere that feels both fresh and cohesive. Whether you are a fan of Interpol’s moody rock sensibilities or Wu-Tang’s legendary hip-hop pedigree, this album proves that these two distinct worlds taste great together.

Key Highlights:

• Dynamic Production: A seamless blend of Banks' melodic songcraft and RZA’s rhythmic intensity.
• Standout Single: Features the aggressive and captivating lead track, "Giant."
• Genre-Defying: A perfect record for listeners looking for something experimental, gritty, and meticulously crafted.
