BREATHE day 4: Thursday #40

Intoxicated

This song is about waking up after a wild night and not remembering anything that happened. Even though the vibe of it feels like a party song,  if you listen close I"m really just shedding light on how most of us are really using the party lifestyle to escape how we really feel.

Jazii

Versions of me is the realization of it all.

So much of my life, Ive dedicated everything Ive had to others. Which isnt always a bad thingunless you never refill your own cup.

This song acknowledges out loud that all of the good coming my way, from years of hard work and pouring my heart and soul into making sure people are taken care of, is well deserved.

I acknowledge where I fell short countless times trying to be perfect and look forward to a bright future that will give me everything I need and desire because of the love I have sown. I no longer desire to be anything but the imperfect masterpiece I have been designed to be.

Small Strides

"Anything you wanna do, believe me when I tell you that I want it too"

The spark of an idea originally conceived around a campfire 15 years ago, dusted off and reconstructed during a pandemic writing session. "Small Strides" explores the new realities of writing & recording with your long time band mates amidst lockdown. The tune leaves behind the complex arrangements Umphrey"s is often know for and focuses on the enjoyable simplicity of a danceable groove. 

For a deep dive into the song"s creation, check out this podcast episode with Brendan Bayliss & Joel Cummins: https://apple.co/3Tmwq6E 

We are pleased to make our genesis drop on Sound with this Asking From A Friend track. Our aim is to put the focus back on the music itself and provide fans with a limited edition, verifiable track on the blockchain. 

We thank you for the support & know you have yet to ever witness our best. Onward & upward together.

Dead Flowers & Cigarettes #27

Natural

Natural was the first song that I wrote and produced for PAISLEY, but at the time of creating it, I didn"t even know I was going to be making an album. 

For 2-3 years preceding, I wasn"t creating music every day as I"d been accustomed to for most of my career. In making this song, I was beginning the long path of healing from overthinking and getting back to doing what comes most natural to me. 

This song was an effort to feel the music instead of writing it. 

More about PAISLEY....

In 2017, I had a thought, patterns prevail. It was derivative of a quote from my best friend and frequent collaborator, Sky Welkin, which read passion prevails. Sky is a talented cartoonist that embeds profound messages like this throughout his work.

During our college years, hed often come by and draw while I made beats, this was our ghetto co-working era, and in these sessions wed smoke, engage in discourse, and share ideas about the respective worlds we were building in our art. In fact, I was very much into doing something new each album, but Sky was the primary influence for me to get into world-building and having a particular sense of style that was cultivated over time.

In one of my college apartments, I decided that to let Sky use all of the walls in my room as a canvas - the few hundred dollars that Id spend to have the room repainted when I moved was minuscule compared to the living art piece around me. Every so often I would discover some new character scene or phrase that hed drawn without me noticing, but one of these phrases was placed in such a way that I couldnt miss it as soon as I woke up, passion prevails.

Web3 has offered much in the form of expansion for the experiential qualities and monetization of my art. We always say things like, time passes quickly in web3.

As much as I agree, I find it interesting that time also seems to stay still - art is appreciated for its beauty regardless of age and with the possibilities available to me with NFTs, something like my debut album, can no experience a new form of appreciation.

As I begin to release works from the PAISLEY collection over time, it was only fitting that I began with the short film.

When I was working on the album, I connected with my friend and collaborator, Dawit N.M. to share the pattern theories I was creating from and what I was aesthetically into at the time. Dawit went on to handle the art direction for the album, as well as bringing my convoluted story concept to life as a film.

The story of PAISLEY exists in a universe in which we"ve all been made to forget true selves. Though, there are those of us that break free and reawaken, remembering all the knowledge of self that was once lost. A human that knows who they are can no longer be controlled and is thus a threat to those in power.

This is the case for our protagonists Figaro and Paisley. The pair, bound by fate, seek each other out in parallel universes with the hope to awaken their companion and continue their journey towards freedom. Our short film finds Figaro, moments after being awakened by Paisley, and follows them towards their attempted escape.

The PAISLEY album and short film are an allegory for patterns at every level of life. Just as cells make up organisms and organisms make up the planets, and the planets the universe, and so on - patterns, appear, reshape, and reappear until their purpose in your life is realized. In my album I explore the different patterns in my relationships and my relationships as patterns, that were required for me to grow individually.

This year marks the 3 year anniversary of the PAISLEY collection, with the short film has only been screened at live performances and intimate talks. Now it will all be immortalized on the blockchain.

Jon Waltz x Tate Tucker - Safeguard

LNRZ ON SOUND WK 6

First let"s point out the obvious... Jon Waltz & Tate Tucker absolutely walked on this beat. Alongside Web3 veteran Jon Waltz, one of our very own LNRZ Freshman, Tate, makes his first debut outside of LNRZ Lookbook Vol. 1.

A note from the artists themselves:

Safeguard was kinda like a culmination of a lot of my fav records from the 2000s, tate fit right on the record and felt like the missing puzzle piece and the song feels like a warm blanket in December. Enjoy - Jon

"This collab feels years in the making for me, Ive been rocking with Jon forever and figured wed cross paths when it made sense. He sent the track beautifully laced already, I really sat with the notion of Safeguardingromantically, platonically. Its rare I can just unfold into a song I wasnt there to create from bar 1, but this process was seamless. <3 - Tate
