Shabazz Palaces 'An Echo From The Hosts That Profess Infinitum'


Nearly two years after the release of Shabazz Palaces' heralded debut Black Up, Ishmael and Tendai drop their latest video for the album cut "An Echo from the Hosts that Profess Infinitum." The visuals here move with the track — images distort in unison with the kick of the bass drum — while the black-and-white scenes pan through cinematic shots of sword-wielding assassins in a coastal paradise. Watch the video for Shabazz Palaces' "An Echo from the Hosts that Profess Infinitum" below. Lookout for the molotovs.
