The Signal by Urthboy

The Signal, the second solo album from Tim Levinson, better known as Urthboy and as an MC in The Herd, came out on 14 July 2007 through Elefant Traks, the label he co-founded and manages. He handed the beats to two sharp local hands, El Gusto of Hermitude and Count Bounce of TZU, and called in a crowd of fellow Australian MCs and musicians to fill out the cast, and the record wears its Australian accent proudly, rhymes riding loose, warm grooves. It came out on CD and double vinyl.

Lead single "We Get Around" arrived with a video from Broken Yellow, the crew behind The Herd's "I Was Only Nineteen" clip. Triple J, Perth's Groove FM and PBS made the album a feature record, with FBi and 4ZZZ spinning it too. It was nominated at the AIR Awards and for the J Award for Australian Album of the Year, and it sits between his debut, Distant Sense of Random Menace, and Spitshine.
