Once the bomb drops...


In a private, yet animated meeting at my house in covington, party and i finalized some vocal layout ideas for the wine thieves debut ep. after a walk to the river and some heartfelt joking about death, i began to feel really good about our vox, which have yet to be recorded at bennett studios in jersey (as party previously mentioned).

Let me state for the record, party's musical canvas-- samples galore, from movies and recordings of friends, to videos, sounds of our past selves-- is amazing! i'm already listening to the album on repeat, and it doesn't have any vocals yet. the album would be an abbreviated masterpiece as a stand alone, but party was kind enough to let me spit and sputter some wine-woven tales over his immense and sprawling music and beats. from the dark and brooding to the uppity-slams, party's tracks will take you for a ride. promise.

Lyrically, i see this album as both a return to form and a transcendence to the new new for us both. for the few listeners familiar with our early albums (pre-get down dirty disco), you'll feel with us the urgency and dream the apocalyptic visions that littered records like "the end of the world." unlike some early records tho, i wouldn't call this record 'political' at all. this is a new beast. post-political, even. post-apocalyptic (that's why he's talkin bout lipstick. you'll get it.).

Once the bomb drops there will be only the wine thieves and the cockroaches.

hype.
