Movement – Feel Real

 

Modular People‘s latest signing, Movement, have released their debut single on the label and it should come as no surprise that it’s simply stunning. Between the deep vocals, minimalist synths, and steel drums, it’s hard to pin down what elements I’m most attached to.

 

Feel Real will be out May 24th in Australia or May 28th in the US. If you live in Australia and want to catch them on tour, allow me to recommend the following shows alongside Flight Facilities:

Thu 23 May – Corner Hotel, Melbourne
Sat 25 May – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
Sun 26 May – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney

Their efforts are to diverse the hip-hop brand in their sound fusions with old American funk and soul, Brazilian Jazz, and, at times, reggae, and utilizing the rhyme schemes which is only over-shadowed by its abrupt, political nuance. It is the hip-hop that is “all honest,” and “against the grain.” – KUMSFM Geek Thug Radio’s DJ and Live Manikins’ MC, Justin Rubio aka Mr. Lingo. With the anticipation of their new self-entitled album, the soundscape they have created will sure to deliver consistent work to their growing following.
