The soundtrack to 2004 Zach Braff indie-flick Garden State is easily one of the best of the last decade, and Thievery Corporations Lebanese Blonde stands out as one of its gemseven sandwiched between the likes of Nick Drake and Simon & Garfunkel. Touring on their sixth studio record Culture of Fear, the trip-hop DJ duo of Eric Hilton and Rob Garza (hailing from the other Washington) havent broken their moldprogressive politics tempered by extremely listenable downtempo tunesand the deep grooves still lie rooted in an interpolation of synths, DJ scratches and actual instrumentation that venture into tastes of warped dub and tranquilized jazz.
