The Age of Distraction

by Country Squares

supported by

Calvin The only album I’ve yet to find that scratches that David Berman itch. Great stuff man Favorite track: Me & You.

funkyratchet A great, varied set of tunes; David Berman and Vic Chestnutt are a couple of notable touchstones, but that doesn't begin to cover it. Favorite track: Age of Distraction.

newcommute Imagine if J Spaceman was in Silver Jews. Favorite track: Lies.

about

A man on a mission! That being in pandemic induced solitude tries to bridge the gap between classic hip hop production and early rock and roll while reflecting on his own observations and pitfalls through songwriting and tape experiments.

CS perseveres with an album of eight absolute bangers that draws influence from artists such as J Dilla and the Paisley Underground to Wesley Willis and Jaques Dutronc.

you must ask yourself. Does it slap? Indeed it does.

Recorded at a turtles pace over a year using a Tascam 246 and MPC 1000 dumping onto a Tascam 22-2 (tech specs for the dorks)

if there's interest I can make a physical tape made per order but for now it lives on bandcamp for one dollar.

best,

cs

Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record. Cidimon Arustavi
