Verbal & The Kickdrums - Idiot Savant

An 'idiot savant' is a person affected with a mental disability who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field (as mathematics or music). Verbal (aka Aaron Weiss) nor The Kickdrums', Alex Fitts and Matt Penttila, are mentally disabled in any way but have exhibited exceptional skills with their musical talents on their latest album, "Idiot Savant."

The musical sound of "Idiot Savant" draws similarity to the infamous group Gnarls Barkley. Verbal (Aaron Weiss), an up and coming rapper from Cleveland, Ohio, steps into the booth and raps his way through 12 tracks, using his creativity and humor to successfully deliver a well balanced LP. If the cover doesn't sell you on how wild and creative this album really is, then we sure hope the production quality behind The Kickdrums does. The Kickdrums utilize their unique skills and ability to produce an album that's filled with captivating, rhythmical beats. Songs throughout the album use indie rock samples and live instrumentation, which are overlaid by the monotone flow of rapper, Verbal.



Check out the latest from this trio,"Idiot Savant," which touches on topics such as girls, alcohol, life struggles, and the Cleveland culture. Head over (here) to pick up "Idiot Savant" free!
