Rough tongue surface is born from a triple collaboration. The two english rappers James and James (jamesphoney jamesreindeer) and a swedish producer who made the music, whose name is joel simeus. And it's such a wonderful collaboration.
The two James both have voices full of personality but totally different. Reindeer flow is quite nasal and sounds agressive like, when Phoney ones sounds quite much more peacful and relaxed, but not less convinced. The sound of Simeus are quite dark, and you can easily concieved the whole album as a trip in some kind of chlostrophobiac area. The only picture of the really nice package of the cd is a small impression of plane, landing or almost crashing on the bottom of the album. Some might say that the general impression of the album is a dark trip of people in a plane which is in a compromised situation. Some might see it in a more organic way, related to the name of the album, and might see it as an interior trip inside rough organs. The drum machines of Simeus are quite often distorted, and increase this impression of rough. The changes from one track to the other are often filled with radio voices and waves, which bring a nice feeling of dreamy impressions, interrupted by the voices of james and james, that lead you from dreamy sad songs to half awake way of concieving music composing .
It might be kind of a drugged trip too, the terms "ascent" and "descent" would fit with that, but it would be reductive to consider this album as an album for weedsmokers, though weed smokers will definitely enter in this trip without problems and would definitely enjoy it.
One of the track is appart from this dreamy state, and it s produced by nimrodsearpreme. We could say it's the more direct song, the one your ears will remember the more easily, possibly the more accessible. Let's call it the awake song of the record. It's called dh.106, and on this track, the two james released this very innovative sing of basing a rap song on a leonard cohen loop. I guess only typical openminded english rapper could bring us to the idea that leonard cohen and hip hop can fit together.
It's totally the kind of album that might have been published on anticon records, oakland, if anticon has an english wing.
It s edited and distributed by milledpavement, and you can order this recommanded record in here.
