In the “Congés annulés” series of the Rotondes this year, den Atelier is introducing The Internet. Presented as Odd Future affiliates but very much a distinct entity, The Internet also deviate significantly from hit-seeking commercial R&B with a sound involving understated vocals and loose, live instrumentation. The group’s nucleus is singer, songwriter, and engineer Sydney Bennett (aka Syd tha Kyd and simply Syd) and producer Matthew Martin (aka Matt Martians), but they should be considered a band, not a duo. The 2015 album Ego Death affirmes the group’s high standing in Los Angeles’ vibrant community of young R&B, rap, jazz, and electronic acts. One of the best non-commercial R&B albums of 2015, Ego Death is perfectly timed, in sync with — and distinct from — other standout releases connected to the thriving L.A. community, including Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly and Kamasi Washington’s The Epic.
