Apostle of Hustle is the going concern of Andrew Whiteman, who sometimes plays in Broken Social Scene, which every day is feeling more like a loose collective of like-minded musicians than a proper band. Whiteman started out incorporating Cuban guitar and circling Latin percussion into his 90s-indie guitar color splashes, but he has moved away from that place slowly but surely since 2004's Folkloric Feel. This doesn't mean he's gotten boring, though; on Eats Darkness, he finds room for an abundance of weird noises and odd pairings, puncturing the calm of a patient motorik groove with jarring bursts of woolly saxophone on "soul unwind" and on "perfect fit," delivering an almost-demented carny barker turn through several layers of vocal processing while a single synth burbles on to itself in the background.
