I took inspiration from the somewhat schizophrenic yet entertaining behavior of a few cats I've owned who purr for attention and then sink their teeth into you without reason or warning.

I want to strongly discern that Kenny is not only a skilled multi-disciplinary musician, but someone I see as a generational talent...
No matter what type of art you produce, you can learn from the past, and there may be aesthetics you cannot reproduce on modern digital software...
I love going into sets, not knowing what to expect, and being positively impressed by a performing artist. Smino is absolutely someone I would see again...
I think it's just really hard to find a band name. I feel like a connection to it. It just kind of was intuitive...
I expected nothing short of perfection when witnessing a Thundercat live set, and that was what I ultimately received...
Center stage were several instruments, including guitars, keyboards, synths, sequencers, and much more. Seamlessly, FKJ flowed between all of these inputs, performing in a unique/multi-faceted set.
It was amazing to witness not only how skilled of a vocalist Masego was, but also his talents as a dancer and entertainer.
Their visual imagery on album art is some of my favourite in the underground scene, with 'Shrines' depicting an NYPD officer grappling down the side of a building in Harlem looking into a window at a 425-pound tiger...

I guess I was looking for different and fresh ways to write songs because I was a bit too used to writing in a specific way and wanted to shake things up...

Originally, it was just cool imagery. We found this vintage bunny on eBay, and it became a studio mascot. Then we said we should just make it the album cover because it's been through the whole ride.

One of the highlights of the set was Marc stripping down to his underwear and diving into the crowd with a bottle of champagne...

I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...

My spiritual practice and my musical practice are intertwined at this point. It’s completely natural for me to be an artist merged with my spiritual inner world, but I’m just now attempting to communicate publicly about it...

My day started a bit earlier for day two - I headed in and immediately went to the merch stand to grab my buddy a shirt...

I feel like I have a levity of things that go on. Some people want to talk about serious stuff, some people want to talk about diarrhea, but I want to treat both situations the same in how I approach them...

Again, like last year, this is my neurodivergent, smooth-brain Zoomer opinion, so if you don't like my picks, I can't help you (and you don't like good music)...
