Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

The Twilight Idols - Apathetic Palm Reader (2006)

 


 

In celebration of the release of the tangentially related and stylistically similar new (?) Papervehicle album I am happy to present this humble garage product. The Twilight Idols were a New Cocoon affiliated creation, I believe between Slew and someone named Oger, as well as someone else with some contributions by Edison (which is why I thought of this when I saw the new PV album). I was educated on the history of New Cocoon by a founding member and they mentioned this group and the chemistry they demonstrate on this album.

Basically if you like the music I usually do (experimental hip hop with melodic production) you will love this one. Enjoy!
