In early March, 2020 BROCRISP and producer Summer Dregs met up in Queens, NY to brainstorm and write. They did not realize that it would be the last in-person session until after their album was finished. As the world ground to a halt and sessions went remote, BROCRISP and Summer Dregs dove inward. With no one telling them what to do or where to go, they had to figure out what was important to them. This record is a document of that journey inward. Beginning with the paralysis of indecision (Greenlight), and ending with a reminder that waking up is a continual process (Stay Up).

So over a bed of slithering R&B and ecstatic future-pop, BROCRISP, Summer Dregs and some close friends soundtracked what feels like the end of the world.

A Word

https://SummerDregs.com

What to do when in a relationship with a body that’s gone cold? When your S.O. can only approximate human emotion? When your relationship is in the uncanny valley? Body Language explores the murky depths of this emotional state via bone-crack snares, vocal yelps and bracing lyrics.

The portrait of Carl by Travis Knight reflects the tangled beats, glowing synths and emotional guts of the song.

Composed by Carl Cadwell, Stephen Nichols

Body Language f/Swayyvo

Wherein three CHA heavyweights take R&B jam "Heaven on Earth" to ecstatic new heights. All three musicians (and Flock House affiliates) push and stretch each other in new directions. Swayyvo takes a break from spitting fire to show off his angelic falsetto. Johnny Balik luxuriates in his own virtuosic croon. Underpinning it all is Summer Dregs, who brings his most sumptuous, spacious production to the table, all without loosing his funhouse edge.

What in the original was a spark, they rebuilt into a smouldering fire. Get lost in the waves.

Heaven On Earth Remix - Swayyvo, Summer Dregs, Johnny Balik

A song for my lil baby homie.
https://SummerDregs.com

Paul and Carl were working in the studio. Myra, Paul's daughter was there, too. At one point Paul started singing and rhyming Myra's name to keep her quiet while he came up with melodies. What came out was so fun and funny we HAD to use it. And that's how we got Paul and Myra on a track together, a song for his little baby homie.

Stay Up

In March 2020, BROCRISP teamed up with producer Summer Dregs (Johnny Balik, bbymutha, YGTUT) in Queens, NY to soundtrack to what feels like the end of the world. This electro-futuristic R&B bop is the 2nd single from that project. It's based on the fact that to stay healthy, a forest needs to burn every once in a while. It's counter-intuitive that destruction is the only way to keep forests and relationships healthy, sometimes we need that full-body jolt to stay engaged and fresh.

Head to Toe

An ecstatic acknowledgement of all the people who got us to where we are. The sessions started in February 2020 and soon turned remote as the pandemic struck NYC hard. But through the darkness, this final song expresses hope that together we might get through aight after all, if we stick together.

Hands Up

Over brisk percussion and handclaps, BROCRISP airs his anxieties around a culture obsessed with youth and efficiency. Even during lockdown there is inescapable pressure to work and do and improve .... And while the chant of "Can't Wait! Can't Stop!" is alluring and fun, sometimes it can be a bit much.

Can't Wait

In early March BROCRISP and producer Summer Dregs (bbymutha, Johnny Balik, Superbody) met up in Queens, NY to brainstorm and write. They did not realize this would be the last in-person session until the album was finished. As the world ground to a halt, BROCRISP and Summer Dregs dove inward. So over a bed of slithering R&B and future-pop, they soundtracked what feels like THE END. With the hope that it will be the start of something new. Greenlight is the first single of their forthcoming album Jungle Savior.
