Not the next Beck, not the next Prince, not the next Zappa, Capital boldly goes where we're all waiting for someone to go...
Paving the way for melodic songwriting in electronic music, Capital draws on blues, funk, jazz, rock, and the traditions of Latin America, Asia and Africa to invent edgy, addictive rhythms and rhymes that shoot off into a new world entirely.
