Strange Perspective: Nobody Sleeps Tonight EP

"These two other worldly gentlemen provide a witty and quirky blend of Hip Hop, Jazz and dancy, catchy-yet-soulful song writing. This EP is a collection of remixes from 'Lost Souls Boys' Choir present Jazz Funeral' and from the upcoming album 'Diary of a Droid'"

"...but like true geeks anywhere, push that nerdiness far enough and it will eventually come full circle to be an ironic sort of cool. That's what you have..." Mike Walsh, City Pages

New Album - Heidi Barton Stink, A Charming Gut produced by your friendly neighborhood SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE

It's here folks!

Heidi and I have been working on this fine album for over a year and it's finally finished!






We've dropped two singles: "Won't Let Ya Slide", featuring Guante and my self on the rap verses as well as Dameun Strange on some funked out keys, and "Consent Song", a heavy BoomBap masterpiece about communication and responsible sexuality.

Here's a way to frame what you'll hear:

Heidi Barton Stink's first full-length release strays far from conventional Hip Hop fare, yet offers a sense of tradition. "A Charming Gut" features a framework of rich vinyl-based production by SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE with a boom-bap-era flavor and traditionalist forward momentum. The content of Heidi's poignant & masterfully dense lyrics are rooted in story telling, the most fundamental element of rap, yet push further both creatively and emotionally than most MCs are willing to go. Addressing topics as diverse as the construction of gender, chosen family, colonialism, rape culture, revolution, mental health, suicide and the power of hope, The album might sit a little heavy, but also celebrates the bitter-sweet, and reminds us of the transformative power of art. “A Charming Gut” is gritty, sharp, heartfelt and just straight-up knocks in your sound system.

SO...we've celebrated the release of the album at Hell's Kitchen with Heidi (of course), Guante, Desdamona, Ganzo Bean and myself. Heidi shared a bunch of the new songs and everyone killed it.

We've made the album available for your listening and purchasing pleasure.

NOW IT'S ON YOU. Please show your love and support of our sweet, sweet music, dedication, thoughts and faces. Please contact us if you're interested in a hard copy and feel free to post and repost any info or songs from the album.

I know you'll do the right thing.

Thanks and Love!

An hour or so at school

Arrived at the school with the cool morning wind
Hot coffee and parking spaces
a nearly finished madlib
that last random word, expertly placed

Welcome, peace
Think and wonder
Imagine Laugh and ask

We talk about the possibilities and connecting the dots
The stars could be constellations of your choosing
If you can just...make it so
The bell rings as if to put her statement in bold letters

She gets it

and we break like the dj dropped the beat
Footsteps flood like the echoes of youth in the city

Ask, wonder Critique and reshape

The Hallway fades
And Dj Day blends in a voice

His situation
Her's too
And their's is in every school

They're edging him out
cornering him through the door
"you want me to leave, you're just trying to take the easy way out"

 And they do...and they are.

Strange Perspective presents 'Nosferatu Unsilenced Cinemaganza'

In the tradition of 'Return to El Guante's Haunted Studio Apartment', 'Strange Perspective and the Lost Souls Boys Choir in Jazz Funeral' and 'Strange Perspective's Halloween Extravaganza, I bring you another funky, ghoulishly delightful Halloween jam.

Check it:

"After their first musical effort into the unknown, indie geek pop duo Strange Perspective has produced a textured, rolling score to the silent film classic 'Nosferatu' and is showing it at the ambiance-appropriate Patrick's Cabaret. Along with live, supernaturally charged music and dance, ghost stories, fort...une tellers, Professor Oscar's Side Show Oddities and more; the night will be a classy spiritualist soiree of rich, roiling shadows, living spirits and the walking dead. Setting the tone with last year's 'Lost Souls' Boys Choir in Jazz Funeral' (and subsequent event), the duo seek to out do themselves with help from drummer Khalil Brewington, dancer/choreographer Erin Sheppard, poets Guante, Lisa Brimmer, Lewis Mundt, story teller Amy Salloway and more. Come dressed as a turn of the century spiritualist, anything else your imagination offers up or simply come as your naturally freaky self."

Here's the facebook invite.

We're all putting a lot of work into this to make it extraordinary. I truly hope to see you there.

Thanks for keepin' up with me,

SEE
