Raised in New Orleans but based in Los Angeles, the Knux have kept it relatively low profile for the last few years. While most of their rap peers flood the market with constant product, the Lindsay brothers have never released a mixtape -- though they came vaguely close with last January's expletive-titled EP.

Instead, they've toured relentlessly, rocking most of the major domestic festivals and quite a few international ones. They've touted the merits of pizza on Twitter, and posted narratives of psychedelic journeys, experimental films, and Neil Young and Stooges videos on their Tumblr pages.

So, the news of the Interscope group's first single from their still-untitled sophomore album ought to be cause for celebration. At least that's the intent of "She's So Up," an uptempo party rock tune that finds the brothers veering away from their psychedelic hip-hop experiments into something more Billboard-friendly. After all, the forthcoming full-length will be released on Cherry Tree, the alternative-pop division of Interscope responsible for the massive success of Lady Gaga and the Far East Movement.
