Trøntønømø Bay

Old Grape God’s newest full length release, Trøntønømø Bay, released via Homeskillet Records, has been a long time in the making.

This is Old Grape God’s ninth project with producer Skelli Skel, and his fourth release of 2016, following Still Alive!, Calmanac, and Meddahtations 4.4. Originally conceptualized in late 2014, Trøntønømø Bay, the 11th release from Old Grape God, finds the artist deep in his subconscious, in an intangible place known as Trøntønømø Bay. The album’s nonlinear story falls chronologically before his album Still Alive! and takes place at the same time as Old Grape God’s 2014 release, Out of Body, however in a different world. 

Trøntønømø Bay finds Old Grape God, the ethereal spirit medium of the physical embodiment of the artist also known as Trøn, questioning whether he is alive in the wrong time or meant to be out of place in 2016. After suffering a serious car crash, ending up in a coma, Trøn suspects his consciousness belongs to that of his future human self, allowing him to traverse the intangible place known as Trøntønømø Bay. The album follows the artist’s journey. 

The unorthodox Portland rapper and time traveler, known for his steady release of music, spent over two years crafting Trøntønømø Bay with producer Skelli Skel. Skelli, who produced the majority of the album’s ten tracks, brings his dub heavy, all-consuming and often anomalous beats to Trøntønømø Bay. The album has additional production from Party on Marz, Dan O. and EmVKush, as well as Old Grape God himself, who plays the trumpet on the album’s opening track, “Afterlife at the Apollo.” The album also features vocals from EYRST’s Ripley Snell on track six, “Mescalculations.”

Old Grape God has been performing tracks from Trøntønømø Bay, such as “Candlelit Vandal,” as well as track “Pendulumber Yard,” in his live solo concerts and performance art pieces throughout the last year, and in his live performances with Ripley Snell as the duo Wine & Coffee. Old Grape God, along with Wine & Coffee, have headlined numerous events in the course of 2016.

Based out of Sitka, Alaska, Homeskillet Records is ran and operated by Nicholas Galanin, a successful multi-disciplinary artist. They were introduced via mutual friend, OCnotes, who released Color Wheel on Homeskillet Records in 2015. Old Grape God and Galanin’s mutual admiration for one another, especially in the realm of the multi-disciplinary arts, make Homeskillet Records the perfect platform for Trøntønømø Bay. 

Trøntønømø Bay is being released digitally, as well as through a limited run of 100 purple cassette tapes, in which Old Grape God designed the artwork and packaging from textures of paintings completed during the duration of the album’s creation. You can purchase the album via https://grapegod.bandcamp.com/.
