Days With Dr. Yen Lo

John Frankenheimer’s 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate inspired Brooklyn rapper/producer Ka and producer Preservation on their powerful new album, Days With Dr. Yen Lo. The record doesn't retrace the plot of the film or the book that inspired it, but instead engages with its themes, playing off of soundbytes interspersed between songs.

At the center of the madness is the eloquent, well-dressed and maniacal Dr. Yen Lo.
