Song exposing the corruption of the world elites.

Bobby Outlaw- This World Is Hell

Sucker Busters

For over a year now, Denni Kindred, a.k.a. Longstocking, has been captaining the ship that is Feral One Records.

From the beginning her philosophy has been clear: pour into every release the unbridled love she feels for her hometown of Seattle while creating space for PNW artists to produce music that honors their own personal connection to the region (and to the dancefloor).

Now Longstocking is back with another release of her own on Feral One. A release that is the most extensive and diverse in the history of the label: her new album, Creating Space.

Seattle is Kindred’s space.

The musical contributions of Seattle and the PNW span all different genres and time periods, and the 16 tracks on Creating Space represent the diversity in sound and persona found within that space. It’s as much an alternative album as it is a dance album.

Kicking things off is “Good Stuff” (the title of which gives an unambiguous hint as to what is coming from the track and the rest of the LP). This track is just pure joy. There is a playful use of samples that plays like a child throwing different colored paints at the wall and ending up with a Jackson Pollack. Simultaneously, different string patterns, from arpeggios to chordal pads, provide a sense of acoustic groundedness, like that same child knew exactly what they were doing from the start.

“A Little Too Much” is another indicative title, communicating the degree of Kindred’s love of Seattle. The combination of rhythmic dulcimer strings and warm, inviting vocals is like the sonic version of a charter boat coasting on Puget Sound at sunset. The kick drum is just a reminder that after the boat docks, everyone is heading to the club.

But remember, this album is not just for the club. And past the halfway mark, “Bombom” comes in to combine hip-hop, breaks, and IDM into one delectable, heady whole. Where does each of these manifest? Hip-hop comes through in even more airtight sampling. Breaks are found in erratic drum patterns. And the synth passages are so gruesome, there is no other genre classification that remotely makes sense besides IDM.

The alternative side of the album reaches its zenith at “Office Window” when Kindred abandons all sense of dance music. But one thing she doesn’t abandon even slightly is a sense of groove. The drum kit glides along a swing beat that Coltrane would be happy to riff over, but instead of bebop tenor saxophone, it’s sound design that is equal parts precise and minimalistic.

To close is another curveball in the form of “Green & Me.” Given the context of this album, it should be clear that “Green” represents the lush, arboraceous environment of Seattle (as well as another plant that is as aromatic as it is combustible), and “Me” is Kindred, who so candidly shares over a serene lo-fi hip-hop beat that there’s no other place that she could ever be.

Frame ME

This track shows CH3RRY navigating lust, betrayal, and fake loyalty while drowning in the trap lifestyle. It’s equal parts braggadocious and vulnerable: the diamonds, bands, and women mask inner pain from heartbreak and disloyalty. The energy shifts from cocky to reflective, then snaps back into cold-hearted rejection making the song feel like both a flex anthem and a cathartic release.

Lyrics:
Shawty slurping me up just like Soup
I'm tryna go in the back of the coupe
You don't gotta brag, Yeah I don't need you
I given yo ass a whole bruise.
Something fishy going on, I ain't talking bout no anchovies 
I was fucking that bad ass bitch, she was Japanese
I got so much green, I spent it on accessories
We got history, but I hate those memories 
Last night I've been trapped in my thoughts
Counting every loss for the things I've bought
All my friends turned so fake ass fuck 
I don't need them anymore, I just had to find a route
Meet me at the trap house, I'm tryna eat her like in and out
Money never maxed out but these bands keep spilling out
Shawty make me blackout and she know what I'm all about
Diamonds on me dripping down
She's a diva, I can't believe her
I'm a mind reader
Got my heart broken by a teaser
I don't need her anymore
Get the fuck out my face, go out to the door
