Shotgun

I never knew how much you meant to me
You were the ground I stood on
But oooh I battled for ages
Fought what I thought you were
Suddenly it's clear what I've wasted
I've shut you out and shut you off
Oooooh I ripped out the pages
Cut where I thought it would hurt

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night

I built up an altar to stop you
Stone upon stone in the sand
I laid you down like you were a killer
I stretched out a murderous hand

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night
My darkness and my light


Darkness

from the upcoming album "Hella Personal Film Festival" (3/25)

vocals by Open Mike Eagle
produced by Paul White

About the upcoming album:
Open Mike Eagle might not have all the answers, but few artists in hip-hop, music, or American life are asking smarter questions. In a landscape governed by ceaseless babble, flashing lights, and hollow lies, Eagle harmonizes into the void so we don’t have to. 

On this descent into the digital trenches, Eagle teams up with British producer, Paul White for Hella Personal Film Festival. Released on Mello Music Group, the full collaboration finds White behind the SP-1200s, conjuring a psychedelic strain of soul-funk, booming drums, and 21st century crate-digging in tropical attics of the imagination. On the microphone, the Chicago-bred, LA-based, Eagle artfully breaks down the banalities and perils of the modern condition. 

Recorded in London, Eagle’s new album continues where his 2014 masterpiece, Dark Comedy left off.  It’s anxiety-riddled but whimsical, addicted to and scornful of social media, stuffed with old wrestling in-jokes and film snippets. Self-aware admissions blend into attacks on societal double standards. 

Known for alchemical solo work and collaborations with Danny Brown, Homeboy Sandman, and Mos Def, this is White’s first proper union with Eagle. The two artists bonded over the notion of diversity.  The process started out with rough demos, which White ended up finishing in post-production—playing guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, percussion and pieces of wood found in a forest. Its genius ultimately comes from the pair mining a deep vein of emotional content—a discussion of the things we feel that you don’t say. A movie that hits so accurately it’s almost uncomfortable.  

These are tense anthems for the vulnerable, consecrations to black people with rich internal lives, agnostic prayers for those grappling with pain. They’re emotional landmines leavened by the wry bleakness usually only found in great stand-up comedians. Eagle exists in the lineage of They Might Be Giants and Richard Pryor, Freestyle Fellowship and his longtime friend and collaborator, Hannibal Burress. 

Within the first act, the plot becomes clear. See “Admitting the Endorphin,” where Eagle raps, “I chase my poison tail and get so high that voices fail.”  These are the movies he’d make it he knew how to make movies. Surreal vignettes about waking up with burrito hangovers in hotels you don’t recognize, wondering if you remembered to charge your phone. Aesop Rock and Hemlock Ernst (Sam Herring of Future Islands) pop up as fellow travelers. 

No one is better than Eagle at capturing the nauseous disorientation of day-to-day life. The deluge of sports highlights, unread texts and Twitter notifications. The compulsive need to check your phone at red lights and pauses in conversation. But his incisiveness extends far beyond observational humor. “Smiling (Quirky Race Doc)” examines the slights and casual bigotry of daily interaction. “A Short About a Guy That Dies Every Night” is a morbid rumination on death. 

These are the returns after long dark nights of the soul. When the noises are loud, the lights are off, and the armor is pierced. Short films that loop over and over again, as soon as you close your eyes.

Mark Johns - Before You

Had A Love (feat. Anna Of The North)

Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5VpiHHc9D6xqSPLNHBH0lJ


And if you're looking to fight me, intermittently 
All I got for you is bread and flowers 
And if you're sitting beside me 
Then let's embrace the love and live for each other 
And if you're looking to bring me down 
You won't find me, you won't find me at all 
I'm coming over to dance with you 
Make your body flow 

Coming over to dance with you 
Coming over to dance with you 
Coming over to dance with you 

How long will I have to come back, Lord 
Help me stay intact 
With my mind on track and the past at my back 
And these angels not chasing me, gracing me 
Running and I'm racing 
And I'm calling and I'm praying 
And these feelings can't stop bleeding 
And these eyes, they can't stop seeing 


If you're tired, not much more you can do 
No, I'm right here, I'm right here with you 

When my right is my left 
And my left can't connect 
And my eye come correct 
And the grass is wet 
And the debt is paid 
What can I say 
I'm unraveling every day 

Give me strength 
Still got time 
And these rhymes, the beats don't lie 
If i tried and it wasn't enough 
Sang my song and you called my bluff 
But if it's real to you 
That matters to me 
With the light in my eyes 
And I just can't see 
Open up the book 
And I read the story 

When the lights go down 
And it's back to the bus 
And the bumps on the road 
But you're feeling blessed 
Let my try again 
Wont you bless my pen 
Where's all my friends 
Cause in the end 
It's up and down again 
Patterns burning in my life 
Freedom comes in the unknown 
Read the crowd, look down the line 

If you're tired, not much more you can do 
No, I'm right here, I'm right here with you 

When my right is my left 
And my left can't connect 
And my eye come correct 
And the grass is wet 
And the debt is paid 
What can I say 
I'm unraveling every day 

Coming over to dance with you 
Coming over to dance with you 
Coming over to dance with you 
Coming over to dance with you 
Coming over to dance with you

Unraveling ft. Matisyahu

"Happy Together" LP/CD coming Feb. 3 2017
Awaited for years by the large nationwide cult of Boggers in the know, Erin Birgy's second LP at the helm of the fog-shrouded ship they call MEGA BOG is an instant and timeless classic. It's equal parts nostalgic and futuristic, mapping a new, jazz-literate and free form of songcraft onto the model of the traditional guitar-based band. It's poetry on roller skates, defying recognizable structures in favor of a stream-of-consciousness flow that guides Erin's lyrics around their many soft and uncertain turns. It's an inspiring example of a unique vision carried to it's most honest and vulnerable realization. Happy Together was assembled on tape amidst a lot of movement, including Erin's relocation from Seattle to New York. Like Joni Mitchell or Beefheart, Birgy has a seemingly magical ability to steer a diverse bunch of players into her own dream-world. And this album has a lot of players, many with big credentials we'll refrain from mentioning (except for Zach Burba and Will Murdoch from IJI, and James Krivchenia from BIG THIEF, who earn mentions for being particularly present). Considering its variety of personnel and its long gestation, Happy Together is a remarkably consistent and complete record that cuts the deepest when experienced from start to finish, as it arcs from the surreal bubblegum tempos of “Diznee” and “Marianne,” thru the extended dreamscapes of songs like “192014,” and out to the free-wheeling catharsis of “Blackout” and “Fwee.” Take the journey.

Mark Johns - Bacardi

Swing Right Back

He floated through the blackness of space. The planets careered past as he gazed out into the distance. The stars lit up like shiny balloons as they cast a hazy warmth through the night. The galaxy was vast, beyond any sort of sense of understanding or reason. The rocks flew past, he had to duck to avoid crashing into their brutal force. Space was a place full of ecstacy and joy but don't trip, you might fall victim to the carniverous comedown amidst the sky. 

Fantastic Man returns once again with a scorcher of an EP for Kitjen. The release follows on from Suzanne Kraft's appearance on the label which has had a very strong year.

Buy/Stream 'Anjunadeep 08': anjunadeep.lnk.to/Deep08so

Making his full label debut, we welcome Australian producer Amateur Dance aka Joseph Cookson to Anjunadeep with four fresh deep cuts in ‘Love System EP’; his first label outing earlier this year with a highly rated remix of Way Out West’s ‘Tuesday Maybe’. 

The EP opens with melodic groover ‘Dreamhack’, before drifting into title track and laid back house gem ‘Love System’. Followed by ‘You Give Me Butterflies’, another nostalgic late-night cut. In keeping with the dreamy atmospherics of the first three productions, Cookson rounds off the EP with a more reflective moment in ‘I Lost (Your) Touch’.
