THE INTERNET

“Ego Death”

(Odd Future)

Right from the beginning, “Ego Death,” the third album by the Internet, radiates confident lust. On the opening song, “Get Away,” the singer Syd tha Kyd talks about what it’s like to be an object of desire when you’re somewhere between the modest past and the success of an uncharted tomorrow. From the outside, she’s living “a life of luxury, models in my money trees,” but the reality is more relatable: “I’m still driving ’round in my old whip/Still living at home got/issues with my old chick.”

As she feels her way to seduction even in these humble circumstances, the music behind her is aquatically soothing, communicating a sort of erotic safety. That’s the tenor of much of this impressive album, the best thus far by this group — Syd tha Kyd and the producer Matt Martians — that’s been honing its come-ons for years at the fringes of the Odd Future carnival.
