Meeting Meanest Man Contest is like shaking hands with a newborn
cloud. Their compositions unfold and bloom before wide-open ears.
Ever growing shapes elevate from simple states. Tones roll out
layers for crackling drums to bounce on. Words streams burst the
surface to bless dry speakers. Undulating syncopation reconstructs
the unexpected. Merit is floating abstraction grounded in strong
urban influence.
Meanest Man Contest is based in the fog shrouded music hotbed of
Oakland, California. The secret duo unveiled are > Quarterbar
(beats) and Eriksolo (vocals). These fresh beat veterans build on
strong roots. As founders of the indie hip-hop labels Rocketship
and Weapon Shaped Records they released music from Anticon, the
Shapeshifters, Substance Abuse, and Emanon. Meanest Man Contest
radiate buzz with compilation and 7 inch appearances. MMC climb to
the top with hushed electricity.
Merit is a drunken jazz serenade. Sound silhouettes filtered though
smoky shafts of light. DonÆt be fooled by the sway & wobble.
Meanest Man Contest punch out lights with heavy drum swings. Creaky
organs wail from floor cracks, rhythms ride skyward on glistening
guitar strings, and cymbal-spun ceiling fans keep it cool. MeritÆs
compositions are comfortable like cracked leather booths. Meanest
Man Contest offer a newsflash for fans of dj Vadim, dj Krush, and
Prefuse 73. --plugresearch.com
