Kudo Records is proud to help release 'April Showers,' the second twelve inch single from L. ScatterBrain of the Los Angeles-based hip hop group Numerous Cat. The A side, 'April Showers,' sets a death-march like beat against French accordions, talon-sharp string parts and a muted thumping bass as L. ScatterBrain addresses issues such as US government policy, the war on the Third World, and the assault on the working class. The B-side, 'Waltzin',' features a funky, uptempo, happy jazz piano loop punctuated by a heavy kick drum and a horn line that weaves in and out of the verses. Here L. Scatter's attitude waxes on the cutthroat music industry pool he's been swimming in for over a decade; '...industry parties, in's where I'm sneaking/where secrets are leaking, fake smiles with a greeting...' Also on the B-side is 'Word Search,' with L. Scatter's partner in rhyme Malcolm Overflow. The track is a very uptempo, B-Boy friendly drum track laced with a busy flute that morphs through the song like a high-speed lava lamp. ScatterBrain and OverFlow kick verses that share the experience of searching for the words and metaphors needed to express deeper thought. 'Word Search' will only be available on this 12 inch. 'April Showers' and 'Waltzin'' are from the forthcoming L. ScatterBrain LP 'Dr. Bombrain.' All scratches on the record were performed by DJ Mino from Numerous Cat. The record also includes instrumentals of all three songs.'
