Orpheus vs. the Sirens

Orpheus vs. the Sirens is a studio album by Brownsville rapper Ka and Los Angeles producer Animoss, together known as Hermit and the Recluse.

[6] Evan Coral of Tiny Mix Tapes said, "The self-mythologizing that Ka composes on Orpheus vs. the Sirens constitutes a minoritarian epic that resounds with the properly poetic catharsis that might purge the constraints from a life’s definition".

[5] Torii MacAdams of Pitchfork said, "In a twist, the Brownsville rapper projects the streetwise narratives of his youth through the lens of Greek mythology—an audacious move, but his hypnotic voice and evocative writing pull it off".

said, "Ka's music will be a tough sell for hip-hop fans accustomed to baroque maximalism.

Orpheus vs. the Sirens is almost confrontationally intimate; long stretches pass without any percussion at all".
