Tweet Copper Feel Sage Francis has been gifted with a silver tongue and a heart full of rage -- a combination that built him a reputation as an opinionated poet who wears his heart on his sleeve. After a four-year hiatus, Sage Francis returns to the mic with Copper Gone. Since his debut album Personal Journals, Francis has used his LPs as a diary, exorcising inner demons and penning editorials on current events. Copper Gone is no exception...

Sage Francis has always made intense music. Whether rapping political (2001's "Makeshift Patriot") or personal (2005's "Escape Artist"), the former spoken-word champion with the acid tongue seems to treat intensity as an end in and of itself. His newest, Copper Gone, deals with a failed relationship and personal breakdown culminating in a stint as a recluse in the woods of Rhode Island...

Exorcising his demons with grinding guitars, uncontrolled beats, and a wicked late-'80s, early-'90s reference ("They were standing on the shoulders of a giant, so defiant, but their feet are stuck/Jesus Jones!"), indie rapper Sage Francis frees himself during the frantic, rock-hard "Pressure Cooker," the opening number on Copper Gone, an album that follows his indie-rocking effort Li(f)e and then four years off. Well, not really "off" as Sage declares "I've been busy...

Blending spoken word poetry and hip-hop with in such an original style, Sage Francis is almost one of a kind. In a genre where this can be all too scarce, he may not necessarily get the recognition he deserves. Copper Gone gives an insight into the anger he has for having to play the role of underdog, while also giving the impression that he may be content where he is...

Head here to submit your own review of this album. Defiantly, obstinately, vociferously independent, Sage Francis has operated in the rundown borderlands of rap since his endlessly re-issued Sick of Waiting Tables spawned an unlikely underground icon. Add to that list of adverbs a bunch of adjectives: political, iconoclastic, battle-hardened, and you've got a study of an operator quite apart from the fashionista millionaires club which rules the hip-hop roost...

Sage Francis is back with a vengeance on sixth outing . A four-year sabbatical had Francis dropping retirement hints after 2010's punk-inflected stylistic departure , and is devoid of the indie-rock backdrop of that effort which caused some friction among his fan base. Longtime Sage devotees will no doubt be ecstatic with opener "Pressure Cooker," as the Providence, Rhode Island-based emcee seethes with righteous indignation, sounding almost unhinged as he declares "if anger is a gift, I'm very...

Sage Francis has returned with his first album since Li(f)e and it finds him stepping back into a more traditional hip-hop sound after spending his last album working with some of indie rock's household names such as Chris Walla from Death Cab For Cutie and the late Mark Linkous of the band Sparklehorse. This time though, Sage is back working with a who's who of underground hip-hop talents such as Reanimator, Alias, Buck 65, and Cecil Otter of the Minneapolis hip-hop collective Doomtree...

"I have to say... there are Personal Journals moments... there are Hope moments... there is ONE Healthy Distrust moment... and the rest is probably the stuff I will be most remembered by." --Sage Francis, blogging about Human the Death Dance, December 2006 Sage Francis is no stranger to thematic consistency...

This is Sage Francis for the people. "Human the Death Dance" opens with "Underground for Dummies," where the Rhode Island MC reviews his credentials and announces, "This is hip hop for the people/Stop calling it Emo." Clearly, he's ready to shatter the limits of the "alternative-hip hop" label he's been tagged with over the years. Current events inspired 2005's excellent "A Healthy Distrust," and Francis' personal stories informed "Personal Journals...
