Any new influences or inspiration sonically you can talk about? What were you listening to during the making of the new record?
@JOEPIO was listening to a ton of OASIS and ROYKSOP

you and your approach to vocals has always intrigued me the techno vocoded vocals on crop circles and so many others is so imogen heap coded i would love to see a deep dive into the engineering behind that kinda stuff
@MusikByNiko mark Williams (ojiXvolta) was the guy behind that vocal sound wall for crop! The outro on the new record has a ridiculous vocal arrangement as the bed I’m going over. Don’t wanna give too much away. Real tears and shit though.

@User12261990 any plans to work with ojivolta again in the future?

@tashhess this is FIRE I been saying we threw the baby out with the bath water in terms of strong fathers and stuff that our elders did that got us here. We have to improve but can’t set fire to the institutions. As I get older I see the importance of the nuance in that.
@User12261990 YES! We've got to be okay to sit in the tension and the nuance. Really looking forward to hearing the way you've crafted this new album and all the growth behind it. Is it concept/flow start to finish or more of each track standing on its own?

@magnoliawhites everything is a bit more stand on business this time around. Meaning I’m full stomach chest voicing most of this record which I’ve never done before. I wanted vocal performances I couldn’t hide behind production and layering with. Sonically the songs have less SOUNDS that I used to pack in but somehow they sound way bigger. I think that comes with taste and time. To me at least everything feels more streamlined less frills. Never considered myself a singer but almost pretended to be one so hard this time around it transformed how I approached the records and sang on them. I also let the monkey come out of me a bit more on this record. It’s all gorilla dad dawg spirit. It’s not a vibe album, I’m making a point and saying things in a way that forces one to form a thought about it. It’s not necessarily an open interpretation vibe don’t try too hard thing. Whole record sounds like someone going for it. Believing something.
@User12261990 dude sorry what HOW do you not consider yourself a singer when you legitimately have one of the best voices I’ve ever heard??
i’m here to tell you… that the Seuss…is loose!

@User12261990 not you having some of the best male vocals I’ve ever heard and making me cry with the Human acoustic and saying YOURE NOT A SINGER??? Jon
Although I guess if I knew tomorrow
I guess I wouldn't need faith
I guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn't need grace
I guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn't be God, God, God -
@User12261990, if this album is focusing on fatherhood (or influenced by it), imma be mad if there ain't one dad joke on this album.

@User12261990 is that a track title? “Gorilla dad dawg spirit”? That would be first on repeat imo

@User12261990 I been working hard!
Spent so much time listening to your whole catalog, spending months listening to the greats of the 90s! My debut album comes out in a few months.
I'm a huge fan of yours!!
This is cheesy and corny but just so the internet can keep track of it, I'll say it anyway:
We're gonna work together someday soon.
Cant wait to hear what you been cooking big bro! -

@tiachante_ oh man, human acoustic, that one take song, the phone notif going off in the second half, that shoulder shrug when he sings the high notes, and the piano throughout, I WILL NEVER GET BORED OF WATCHING THAT VIDEO.
also for the longest time I thought mart mcflys was morning flowers lmfao and all that time I was like who buys flowers for 4 grand LMFAO -

I had a vague knowledge that they were shoes based on how he said it (like Jordan’s) but I literally just had to google them to see how they look. And I agree, the video literally adds to the humanity of the message and song.Although I guess if I knew tomorrow

Just saw a video of a guy who reproduced Kid Again from scratch, and if im gonna be completely honest i think this new mix sounds even better by giving the strings some room. Really talented producer

@User12261990 Here to talk about how Woodstock is an underrated production masterpiece, every element is sonically where it needs to be, the beatbox combined with the drums and the tweaked vocal chops sounds crazy. Your songs sound like every musical element is birthing the next one, such smooth dynamics with tension and release. So nice to hear you are back man, big inspiration for all of us creatives out there.
