Experimental hip-hop? Soul-Junk slops together a collection loose beats, quirky effects, and psychedelic samples to result in a take of hip-hop that doesn't take itself too seriously. This is what makes 1956 stand out: no hard-guy fronts, no glorification of drugs or violence, and no blatant samples. Besides, who else could cleverly rap along to a sample of a cello quartet? Intelligent indie hip-hop for the masses. Fans of Beck should take note. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
