Apostle of Hustle
Album: Eats Darkness
Label: Arts & Crafts/EMI
Rating: ***½ (out of five)

Apostle of Hustle again delivers a boundary-pushing collection of rollicking indie sounds mixed with slick guitars and airy instrumentation.

(On Snakes, a woman says, “The incredible fact about snakes is that they have both boy and girl reproductive parts.” Huh?) Whiteman delivers a set of incredibly catchy tunes.
