10 Artists, Emcees, Singers, Poets, Deejays, and Producers
representing 3 states and countries RUNNING AMOK.
Imagine Kaiju as Frankenstein’s Monster, spawned musically from 90’ Grunge and Boom Bap, and raised on Spoken Word Slams, Independent Film, and Radiohead. Co-producers David KelseyBasset and His SP1200 (aka Rube) and SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE join forces to create a lush, crunchy, autumn wetland of sampling and sequencing. The 9 well-seasoned poets, singers, deejays, and lyricists navigate the terrain like various creatures of the deep dark, emerging smooth as a ripple on a wave, or as sudden as an alligator jaw upon its prey. These artists are under-sung pillars of their communities, and masters of their craft. This is a luscious, dirty, thick, and fuzzy album full of surprises and easter eggs. It’s perfectly imperfect – and that means something in this age of sanitized, homogenous, and sterile soundtracks where even indie artists sacrifice original creativity for impossible pop radio standards of “clean” and “accessible”. This is not that. This music is rude; to nicety and to expectations. In so many words, this work of art is not here to play nice. Pre-order is available now at the Scum & Villainy Bandcamp. Drops digitally October 13th with an online listening event on Twitch.

Co-producers David KelseyBasset + SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE have been friends and collaborators for a number of years; trading
beats and recordings online between MPLS + the CHI in the mid-oughts after meeting on a covert rebel radio channel for freedom fighters. The seedy underbelly of Mos Eisley was enthralled by the pair’s “fully operational battle-station-heavy sounds” leaked by the pair....more
This is an awesome sequel to their 2012 work. Perfect for the bizarre Darkest Timeline reality we all now inhabit. Poignant and real and magical and hopeful and realistic without ever getting fatalistic. And it bangs, too. Dr. Reed
