Human Behavior - Golgotha review

Year : 2013
Genre : Folk with a tame psychedelic fascination
Label : Folktale Records
Origin : United States
Official site : > - here - <

Golgotha brings forth soulful folk music with a predominantly positivistic and contemplative attitude fueling the respective tracks. The release is a well focused and polite - in the most optimal sense of the word - effort that has a flawless understanding of its premiere charms and all the boundaries that this particular type of covert silence assassination - don't worry, silence always returns somehow, for some time, ultimately - should respect, courtesy of the prime emotions and moodsets that are about to be expressed. As noted, the music is positively and delightfully harmless and calming, and, despite that you'd be even free to challenge it for the rampant/beautiful simplicity it seeks to offer, the field of submission eventually will ensue and command you as its mere possession, and you will be - secretly, at least - grateful for it.

Thomas J - Money Sex Religion Mixtape review

Year : 2013
Genre : Hip Hop
Label : Independent
Origin : United States
Official site : > - here - <

The talent pool of the upcoming hip hop artists seems and sounds to be especially deep, and Thomas J is one of the dudes whose feet touch the floor of said pool while his head popping out at sky levels, yo. (Makes you wonder how come I see it, yes?)

The Money Sex Religion Mixtape makes superb and efficient use of classic-, timeless grooves and harmonic passages you will greet as significant friends you once had AND still have. Many of these nicely realized synth pop backdrops have their origins deeply seated in famous and relevant musical patterns established by different sub-genres and their respective eras, yet Thomas J always delivers a full blown take on the given idea, not relenting until dressing a separate identity around it with the same experience in it, so to say. Sounds convoluted? Good, because that is the agenda.

Thomas J has a beneficial tendency to rap his stuff out as if there would be no tomorrow, - and who's to say there IS, all right?? - conveying a sense of intensity that remains intact even in the more placid sonic declarations of urban city - which I know is a tautology, feel free to soak tongue in rectum in rhythmic fashion until further notice - experience point harvesting. A combination of exceptionally colorful backdrops and abundant amount of lyrical content showcased in the respective songs, Thomas J's Money Sex Religion reveals to me everything I have ever thought about rap so far, and then something more - which is the hallmark of a top tier hip hop record, to be perfectly frank. Read on to know more about this effort and about my overall sentiments towards the upcoming hip hop artists, in the context of this very album right here.
