My original music band's newest thing! I play bass and sing harmony. More "parts" will be released as they're finished, basically. Sometimes independent music production is Quite A Process, but I'm really happy with the way this one sounds so far!

Hello friends! Our latest project, Weird River, is being released in parts, and this is the first one! It will be available on all the streamers within the next week, but you can get ahead of the line and listen RIGHT NOW on Bandcamp: thunderpeople.bandcamp.com/album/weird-... Cover art by Josh

Now Playing: D'Angelo And The Vanguard’s ‘Black Messiah’ (2014) | Rest well, sir. Your musical voice & vision will endure. album.ink/DAngeloVngrdBM

Just in case anyone needed evidence of just how good D'Angelo was. There's something so raw and visceral about this track (and in fact the whole Black Messiah album) it just gets to the bottom of what funk is all about. It's a tragedy that his explorations have come to an end.

Producing around 200,000 tapes in a rainbow of colors and custom designs last year, the last cassette plant in Iberia offers a fascinating look inside the art of tape duplication: https://disc.gs/4heHAI7

fuck not d'angelo 😔 that has broken me

BLABLUBLAS!

I'm telling you: if Will Smith shook it off and start rapping properly, he'd sound dope over Black Milk beats and they could become Black Smith. "Forging" a new relationship etc.

“While not an overtly political band, Young Fathers have spoken about issues such as racism and the treatment of refugees. Due to their support of the BDS movement, the band was dropped from the 2018 Ruhrtriennale line-up.” sounds pretty overt to me (and i stan)! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_F...
