Wow! Talk about "that difficult Nth album"
This is the promised sequel to "The Go Easy Mixtape" (mentufacturer.b....
That one really did come together "so easy". It was just a bunch of experiments that I found worked really well as an album. And I still often listen to it in its entirety.
This time I set out to deliberately "develop" the aesthetic of the Go Easy Mixtape - particularly the track called "A Sepia Sonority" - to infer the "grammar". To try to turn the "pidgin" of random juxtapositions of experiment into a "creole" with an implicit logic for how the parts go together.
And, boy!, has it been difficult.
It's taken me almost a year and a half, and led to many false starts and strange decisions, some I'm not sure about even now.
In fact I'm not even sure I "like" it, exactly. I might have spent 15 months creating an album that no-one could or would really like. Not even me. :-)
