For our final release of 2023, we’re pleased to present the newest work from Boston based producer and close friend of The Rust, Maxfield – a 4-track uptempo EP titled Boondoggle. This release continues his testament to versatility, blending acoustic instrumentation with mechanical sound design – exemplifying the depth of his understanding of the craft through extraordinary musicality and creative mind. 

Maxfield's repertoire covers a wide range of grooves and emotional landscapes, and a formal release from the high-energy end of the spectrum is long overdue. Boondoggle draws inspiration not only from dance floor energy, but also from the world of animals and nature – the mind-crushing awesomeness of which is enough to send even the strongest of us into a verklempt tizzy.

Composed, produced and mixed by Jacob Maxfield Cohen
Mastering by Adam Ovoid

Gate-kept by the world’s most dominating forces, the landscape of creator-fan interaction has been stretched thin. In exchange: to be seen and heard for a mere blip in time-- at the ultimate demand and benefit of the algorithm. Having consumed society, there may not be a sector that isn’t reliant on the algorithmic circus of attention seeking now necessitated for its survival. Cue desperation.

We are all livestock at the data farm. Here, the loudest and fattest cows produce the most value for our industrial owners, fertilizing the ‘feed’ that we all incessantly graze on.

Despite it being rabidly exploited, the desire to be recognized and validated is innocently and necessarily human. As is survival within the society we never chose to be born into.

Grappling the tight rope between introverted artistry and algorithmic conformity, PLEASE INTERACT WITH MY CONTENT is both satirical commentary and a raw display of vulnerability.

Humandala’s brand of aqueous, soul-infused electronic music takes full flight in the Qualia EP. As a full fledged multi-instrumentalist, his songwriting and performance chops dictate the wide variety of compositional styles under his belt, and Qualia follows suit with five distinct tracks. Flowing from smooth, jazzified chord progressions and subtle sound design to chunky synthesis and aggressive breakdowns, there’s few stones unturned by Humandala’s musical inquisition. As each track evolves throughout their individual arrangements, so does the EP’s flavor and intensity. There are no gaps to bridge in Qualia’s journey, with every song interlocking with juxtaposed songs around it like a form-fitting puzzle. It’s a powerful symbiosis that represents the EP’s full-service experience, and solidifies Qualia as Humandala’s most lucid release yet.

Written, mixed and mastered by Humandala.
