Raw Poetic / Damu The Fudgemunk - Laminated Skies on CD

Description

Sessions for 'Laminated Skies' took place in the sweltering summer heat in 2019 at Windom Road studio in Brentwood, Maryland; with Damu's production adding a tapestry of instrumentation including live and programmed drums, strings, vibraphone, kalimba, melodica, vinyl scratching and synthesizers. Musically pulling from the genres that make hip hop; the multidimensional work also draws inspiration from Ralph Ellison's novel The Invisible Man, spirituals, and their individual influences, on which Jason says 'I was an English major, Luke is a jazz bassist, Pat a classically trained guitarist, and Earl brought in a wealth of knowledge that funneled us through a direction that worked'.
