“Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA.” Press release WIN. Under the Major Lazer umbrella, Switch and Diplo have concocted a Jamaican dancehall-inspired party album featuring vocal cameos from friends like Amanda Blank and Santigold. First single “Hold The Line” features a machine gun surf riff and toasting from Mr. Lexx and Ms. White. On the ID3 genre field, it said “Raggamuffingangsterkrunkdubstepsurfrock,” so file under that. Diplo and Switch produced “Paper Planes” so don’t be surprised to hear ringing phones and cash registers along with neighs. Did I mention Major Lazer “fights vampires and various monsters” and has a rocket powered skateboard? Basic concept album stuff.
