HOT NEW MUSIC OF THE MONTH: MJ-12 - THE BEST IN OURSELVES
What up y'all?? It's been entirely too long since I have posted anything so I'm going to hit ya with a few things today. The first (and most exciting) is some new music from the homeboys mj-12. Let me give you a fair warning: this is not rap music. This music is probably not for everybody, but if you are somebody that can enjoy it then you are in for a real treat.
This album has that good problem of being hard to classify. It's not rock/punk, it's not really electronic and it's definitely not hip hop, but it has hints of all of these things. The best I can do is; ambient guitar-driven indy rock with a sprinkle of metal. I've never heard bad music that was hard to classify. To me that usually means that the artist is pulling creative influences from many different places to create a new, wholly unique, sound. That is definitely what is going on here and it is a beautiful thing.
mj-12 describe themselves as "a collaborative music project, initiated for the love of music and for the never ending quest of 'truth'". When I first read this I thought it was kind of funny, but that statement came into focus more and more and I listened through the songs. This album bleeds of truth. You can hear that the artists did not set out to create anything in particular. There is no formula to this album. There are no standards or rules. They simply made the music that they felt like making the way they felt like making it. It's honest music and it feels good, what more could you ask for?
Please enjoy this 7 track ep here.
mj-12 is: Anthony Wendelboe - guitar, noise. Cornell Brantley - drum programming.
