| "OKAY
HUMAN" by MEGA BOG (Cassette Tape + Mp3) – ECHOMANCY
TAPE VOL.=
This
album is kind of a mind blower. For we Gnomes, hearing it for
the first time was akin to being taken down by a slow curling,
creeper wave... One minute we were looking out at the endless,
echoey horizon and then we were flat on our backs, sprawled-out
and breathless.
May
"Okay Human" welcome you to an effortless groove
space, a dimension populated with glorious word forms, turns-of-phrase
simultaneously alien and familiar, profound and playful –
""My board, it crumbles in a heavy ocean
weeze. I met my new best friend while crawling to my knees"
– So what's it sound like?
"Okay
Human" sounds like a show at your paleolithic cave/community-center.
It's eleven songs that will reach you on many interpenetrating
levels – make you dance, sing along, ponder, laugh –
all with a kind of chilled-out grace.
Mega
Bog is from Seattle, but these tunes migrate from San Diego
to Vancouver every 30 minutes... blend the whole west coast together
and you've got the right habitat for this dubby and golden, deep
and distant album. This radical tape comes in mono, and the mp3's
are in stereo, room sound in tact in both glorious formats.
