Cosmic Cleavage
Cosmic Cleavage is the third studio album by American rapper Busdriver. It was released on Big Dada in 2004. The cover depicts an action figure of the Mazinger Z robot Aphrodite A firing its breast missiles.
Critical reception
Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, saying: "With no breaks or gasps for air between the tracks, Cosmic Cleavage is Busdriver's tightest, most consistent album." However, he added, "it might not be the best starting place for new listeners." Paul Clarke of BBC gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "'acid jazz' in a literally hallucinogenic sense".
