>New York City's seminal avant-hip-hop trio, Anti-Pop Consortium, officially
>announces its amicable dissolution. Having spent the last eight years
>contributing some of the most adventurous and groundbreaking hip-hop the
>world has ever seen, and most recently releasing the album Arrythmia on
>Warp Records to worldwide acclaim, APC has reached the final point in its
>journey.

>"Anti-Pop wasn't initiated with the concrete, long-term goal of doing music
>as a group. They are three dynamic, creative forces who are now moving
>forward individually to pursue solo projects that have long been in the
>works," says the group's manager, Amaechi Uzoigwe of Ozone Music. "They
>came together for a period of time to create something special and unique,
>which they succeeded in doing, and now they're focused on fulfilling their
>respective musical and creative visions. They have nothing but love and
>support for one another. They made their mark while they were here and
>expanded the very notion of what hip-hop music was or could be." Along the
>way, they garnered the support of artists like Radiohead, Dr. Dre, DJ
>Shadow, Pharoah Monche, and others, and the respect and admiration of
>critics and fans worldwide.
>
>The spirit of APC will continue to live on in their solo manifestations.
>Group member Beans will be releasing a solo record for Warp early next
>year; M. Sayyid is finishing up his own solo album and will be releasing a
>single this fall; High Priest will be dropping a solo instrumental album on
>Warp, has produced an upcoming collaboration with free jazz prodigy Matthew
>Shipp, and has done production and remixes for various artists. He will
>also be dropping solo material through Anti-Pop Records, which he continues
>to helm; Engineer/producer E. Blaize will be working with all three
>artists.

>The group would like to express their sincerest gratitude and appreciation
>to all who have supported them over the years.
