Open Mike Eagle found comedy in contemporary American horrors on albums like 2014’s Dark Comedy and catharsis in exposing his past on 2020’s Anime, Trauma, and Divorce. Now, the incisive, hilarious, and idiosyncratic purveyor of art rap. The New Yorker manipulates time like Dr. Strange on his new album, Component System with the Auto Reverse. Eagle’s eighth solo LP, CSWTAR is grounded in our dystopian present but structured with the magical randomness of cassette mixtapes he made recording college rap radio shows in the late ’90s. It was an era of supreme braggadocio and countless lyrical styles, the lines between boasts offering insight into Black American neighborhoods. Eagle made CSWTAR in this spirit.
