Audio: Spoek Mathambo 'Let Them Talk'


Spoek Mathambo takes a bit of a left-turn with "Let Them Talk." Unlike previous joints off Father Creeper, the track explores janky-guitar riffs and post-punk tendencies with vocal aid from Yolanda. Stick through to the end where Spoek revisits his verse off — track of the year — "Ask For (Africa Remix)." Father Creeper is out March 13 via Sub Pop.
