| | Review: | Want to know what musicians do when they’re bored? Cop this
album. On what is easily their most experimental venture to
date, The Procussions give the listener a pair of
documentary eyes for ears on their Japanese release, Up All
Night.
The concept behind the album is simple: record a jam
session from 10 pm to 6 am (actually engineered by J
Skills), cut it up, and press the dopeness to a disc. While
the jams (drums and Rhodes done by Stro the 89th Key) may or
may not be your cup of tea, the concept is undeniably cool,
not to mention some serious freestyle by Mr. J Medeiros and,
perhaps most worth the buy, four previously unreleased
tracks to end the album (with Mr., Resonant and Stro
spitting).
Hailing from mountainous Colorado (they’ve since relocated
to Los Angeles), The Procussions understand music diversity
and have a unique perspective, both as ridiculous MCs and
skilled instrumentalists. While Up All Night is reflective
of the group’s style, the album briefly touches on the
group’s overall talent. The idea behind the album is
excellent, but I’m not sure that my particular liking for
“concepts” is universal, especially given the efforts put
forth on their finished, previously unreleased tracks such
as “Here We Are” and “Life of Brian”—both of which are
absolute fire.
Some people have dubbed the album a jazz EP. As much as I
dearly love jazz, I have trouble calling this a jazz record.
I’ve dicked around in a studio before and someone called it
jazz… no… this is a dude who layered live drums and live
Rhodes progressions. So let’s do this: Up All Night is a
concept record with jazz and hip hop overtones.
Yeah, I like that.
