Think we all respectfully disagreed with Mike D's claim that The Mix-Up would be a "post-punk instrumental album" when we heard "The Rat Cage," but "Off The Grid" may change your mind a bit after two minutes of typical In Sounds funk. Checking in with the voluminous bounce of Mike D's fro is a bonus.
UPDATE: "The Rat Cage" vid after the jump. (Thanks, Russell!)

Sounds pretty good to me. Shitty white-boy funk bands from Providence to Berkeley should take note: it's not virtuosity that counts, it's attitude.
