The New Human Is Illegal marks a bold entry from Mansbestfriend, blending electronic textures with experimental hip-hop beats under the highly respected Morr Music label. Released in 2004, this album showcases a deeply honest approach to lyricism, addressing themes of disappointment in relationships through a sound that is both raw and celebratory.
What sets this release apart is its inventive production, including unique sampling—most notably the drums on "Poor Is Cool," inspired by Why? and supported by Odd Nosdam. The lyrics are visually interwoven throughout the gatefold cover and labels in an orthogonal arrangement, complementing the album's complex emotional landscape and making it a standout choice for fans of introspective electronic and hip-hop music.
