back n buttah than ever <3 (∩｀-´)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

this song is so good bro, we gotta work together.

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.

Smokin' everyday yea just to get by 
Shawty on my mind so I gotta get high 
The past is the past 
We leave that shit behind
Done so many things that I wish I never tired 
I can't lie 
I just be geeking 
Shawty on my mind, I will be feeling 
I just want some love but a nigga still healing 
(But a nigga still) 

Got so many choices I can't decide weather
I want shh to be by my side 
I just need some drugs to clear out my mind eyy
In the za I can't confide 
Hoping it's my purpose I find
I won't make the same mistake twice 
I can't trust but I don't know why 
(I don't know why) 
(I don't know)

Did a few pulls I am geeked up 
A nigga can't even relate 
I am soo high 
I can't feel myself yeah 
Let's do it again 
When we are sober 
We'll be in our zone 
Yeah 
So geeked up 
Nigga, Ah

Nigga can't flex
To Know I am better than him yeah 

Finna get that cash

Nigga wanna bet 
I can't promise
That I'll give him the money 
Whiles I am broke just like u 
King to kings 
I speak for myself, don't need no third party 
To speak for me 
I'm walking with the gents 
I can't even haul I feel like I'm not breathing yeah

No can stop us 
We feel invisible 
We are on a mission
U gotta submit to us Nigga ah

Bitches will always be bitches
Bitches will be trying to play us 
But instead we play em 
Have no time for shit 
U ain't worth waiting for
Life move on 
Life is unfair

That's why i get geeked 
i will always be high 
I don't wanna die 
I won't lie , huh 

( Ahh-huh) 

Get High 
Get High 
Get High 
Get High 

Get high, Get high
I'm the highest in the room
If I wanna get high I call the plug and buy a joint
No smoke in my city cause these niggaz want no smoke
Gimme credit cause my feature gonna entertain the audience
Getting high without the pills I just feel not motivated
She a ten she a nine she got ass I'ma smash 
She on a diet she the one
She taking percs she a freak
I take time on a beat I don't wanna waste minute
Let me dance like Dondara can you bring me my carvella
They sag Gusheshe Gusheshe so we keep it 360
Only woman call me kulture for the niggaz I'm just Shawn
But some niggaz act like bitches so they also call me kulture 
Let me take a few pills and get high Playboi Carti
So high I touch the sky the only time I feel alive
Kulture 
Kulture
