The Weeknd - House of Balloons

Joseph_SP [Edit] [Delete] 10:31, 29 March '11

Yes, I'm jumping on this because P*tchfork just reviewed it. But hell, it sounds bloody good. Best of this white-boys-do-r'n'b thing (actually I have no idea if they are white, or boys.) Better than How To Dress Well, in my opinion (which I eventually decided was too hard work) and Autre Ne Veut (who's album is a bit patchy.)

It's available as a free download. Apparently so they don't have to clear the samples. I'm not sure how viable a business model this is (how are they going to make any money from it??)

Anyway, any thoughts anyone?
