bro has the angriest yet chillest vibe, the most treble driven yet low fi tone, the most exquisite textures yet pop-oriented songs...instantly in awe with such freshness and how the extreme opposite vibes equal in such a cool result
the way dijon and mkgee influence each other is out of this world, they move in a space completely of their own and witnessing their progression separately, for the past 6 years or so. But speaking about mkgee on this album he’s really shown his gift to write songs that, despite their crazy and unconventional production style, are as catchy as some of the GREATEST pop songs ever. Are you looking up and Candy are prime examples of that
@@kritiosboyLike did a flip off of the edge, or looked down and flipped off 🖕🖕the edge before jumping? Or did a flip off the edge WHILE flipping off the edge...cuz THAT would be legendary.
I've listened to this at least 50 times now and I'm convinced its one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. incredible melody and vocal performance along with unique guitar phrasing and tone. just.. wow.. so modern and fresh. .. low key would have topped the charts in '86 regardless of what anyone else put out at the time. I hope for your recognition while also hoping you stay true to your music.
Good for you. Opening melody is just Like "First Cut Is the Deepest" written by Cat Stevens in the 60's and the rest sounds like an 80's song with a sloppy guitar solo random special effects over it. I don't understand what people get worked up over these days....
That is a wild sound you get running through your Tascam Cassette Record. I'm a 71 year old musician and always looking for the next big thing. Brother, you've found it. The sound you get is so unique. I could listen all day.
I feel bad because I want to make music and I love him so much but I feel like if I miss him to much I’m going to try and be exactly like him. I don’t want that so I just starve myself. Going to his live set tho 😈
The melodies and chords are pure pop, but the arrangement and mix are unusual, and the guitar tone is unique. I've certainly heard lo-fi guitar before, but his particular sound is truly his own.
@@oross4001 Just heard that in an interview, and when Mk.Gee talked about this I almost jumped out of my seat and shouted "YES! So that’s what I was feeling, just didn’t know how to put it into words!" When an artist has a goal, creates art that reaches that goal, and then is also like the mentor that explains to you what you’re experiencing... I’m in awe.
Chorus , reverb , octave pedal . Literally only people mesmerized by this are people who never heard a guitar through effects before . Not saying he's not good , just not as mind blowing as the average person thinks it is .
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE GOOD MUSIC REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY TELL YOU YOU SHOULD MAKE. MUSIC HAS NEVER CHANGED. PEOPLE TRIED TO TELL US WHAT MUSIC SHOULD BE. they're just wasting time. do not stop.
thank you, mike This album feels like it seeped into our reality from an alternate plane. Never heard anything like this. We have legends living among us.
Listen to Absolutely by Dijon if you haven't yet. That's how I felt about Absolutely and then found this album and was like why does it sound so familiar and found out later that Mk.gee is all over Absolutely. They share a super similar vibe
The Talent & Attitude is like one of those great artists from the back in the days. Not a lot of people have this nowadays, great to see its coming back
Serious Jai Paul Vibes to this. The way he plays is like he is talking to the guitar. Been listening to How many miles and Candy when they were released as singles.
His guitar playing and effects setup is fantastic, of course, but don't sleep on that uncanny vocal resemblance to a very young Todd Rundgren, nor that hypogogic in-and-out-of-focus singing style a la John Martyn. Sublime stuff.
If you wanna hear someone else do a really interesting, sorta almost "abstract expressionist" vocal/guitar performance like this, where there's a range of dynamics and clarity that could be described as "too much on purpose", listen to John Martyn's '70s material. "Bless The Weather", "May You Never", the extra weird and creepy "Solid Air"...lotsa great songs. FWIW, "Head And Heart" is also like what Bon Iver would sound like to me if I could....you know, actually get into it. That's just me.
I hadn’t even made the Todd comparison! I just thought it was reminiscent. Todd really had something going for him with Hello It’s Me, some voices represent generations
@@ryanbuckner2405 might grow on you as you listen that’s art some people hate abstract some people can’t stop staring at it so your opinion isn’t wrong at all boss
I exclusively listen to female indie folk or indie rock artists, but Mk.gee is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. Everything about his music is just perfect, especially the guitar and experimental aspects.
POV: you’re sitting opposite of a Disheveled homeless man, who is absolutely shredding the most immaculate riff imaginable, on a public transport vehicle.
Jack karasweski I’m pretty sure is the master mind behind all this . I know he produced the absolutely film for Dijon and I really hope we get a similar live film for these train performances. Seeing a live version of DNM is a need!
No. And I hope this comparison doesn't stay stick on this guy (like for Sam Fender "the new Springsteen"...), he just needs to be himself and find his own way, with no unattainable comparisons, in my opinonin.
He has similar tone on his guitar - that's what makes him remind people of Prince. Actually I think his playing reminds me of Richard Thompson. There's a huge folkie style of playing that sounds really good to me.
I'm surprised to see a production team of 17 people for a video consisting of a one single long shot. It looks flawless and everything is superbly excecuted and I'm sure everyone played their part resulting in a succesful end product. Many would do this kind of a video with a team of 3-4 people, so I'm glad they didn't.
This is my new favorite artist… for me you have to be able to perform little intricacies from the album live as an artist. Mkgee FAR exceeds this with just his guitar. I’m so fucking inspired by this guy. He’s absolutely setting a standard. If you’re an artist… let’s take a not out of mikes book. Live up to your word as an artist… deliver twice the sound. Love you bro. Keep killing it.
This whole album is like nothing i’ve ever heard before. Literally stumbled across it on spotify and haven’t put it down since, massive love from Australia my dude

Dude I just found out about them THIS WEEK and I want MORE!!!
I’m 61 and the 80’s were the best years of my life. The vibe and nostalgia of this song gave me warmth & made me smile the entire song.
Salute OG ❤️
I think this is as hard as can be gone. You can go this hard, but no harder. This is the limit of hard going.

Somehow the music is both nostalgic and something I've never heard before! How is that possible?!
The melodies and chords are pure pop, but the arrangement and mix are unusual, and the guitar tone is unique. I've certainly heard lo-fi guitar before, but his particular sound is truly his own.
I think the nostalgia comes from hearing something that is actually real, again
thats exactly what he was going for, a good word to describe what you feel is 'liminal'

hi
Completely in a world of his own. Loved museum of contradiction but this album he’s really landed on something singular.
I think maybe I need a few more listens, initially I've preferred MOC, just feels more complete to me.
Very rarely do i stumble on someone who stops the whole music scene in it's tracks, this is astounding. ❤❤❤❤
I’m not gonna lie he may be one of the greatest musicians ever
another phenomenal performance - been listening to the hell out of this album
the solo is disgustingggg thank you for this
For real...personnal preferences put aside...when was the last time you heard something so different and original?

this song makes me feel really nostalgic for a time 9 months ago when I first heard this song.
Faith in humanity restored.
it's over for all men. no one will ever be hotter than this 😩
I'm actually in awe of what this man is creating.
Perfect vibe of nostalgia for music of a lost generation, expressed by an artist from a generation born 20 years later. Incredible talent.
Generational album & rollout 😮💨 so happy to see this man rise
Why is the live so much better than the album version? It’s actually a STARK difference in sound
It’s raw

What film?
@@EdmondOliverLivesthe film
Such a great song. He brought the 80’s sound back but made it his own.
Dude his sound is everything I love about music all wrapped into one undeniable package. Never had an album on repeat like this one 🫡
I exclusively listen to female indie folk or indie rock artists, but Mk.gee is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. Everything about his music is just perfect, especially the guitar and experimental aspects.
God this album is so good. Need whole album of these versions tho
I am literally addicted , the more i listen the more i want to keep listening ❤
That first explosive hit gives me life
Man I can’t wait for his TinyDesk performance. It might even beat Paak’s
This is an expression of anger/intensity along with affection/peace. Evil and Good dancing together in musical form
POV: you’re sitting opposite of a Disheveled homeless man, who is absolutely shredding the most immaculate riff imaginable, on a public transport vehicle.
This is like like listening to Tame Impala for the first time or Queen and or even Michael Jackson. Fucking masterpiece
His music is like he’s actually from 2024 and we’re in the 80s.
O=
Exactly this!!! You put it into words the way it was jumbled in my mind 😂😂
i keep going back to this one
Jack karasweski I’m pretty sure is the master mind behind all this . I know he produced the absolutely film for Dijon and I really hope we get a similar live film for these train performances. Seeing a live version of DNM is a need!
Ben lederman produced!
man such a banger, been screaming this along for weeks now
Dude plays with so much soul. It is beautiful watching him perform music that he truly loves. No fluff, just raw talent ❤
Mkgee possesses a once in a lifetime musical talent and artistry so extraordinary that it feels almost surreal
This is media done perfectly.. Beautiful music, beautifully captured. Nothing beats live music in person, but this gets damn close.
My favorite song on the album since it dropped as a single got me through a really weird time
This generation’s Prince.
No.
And I hope this comparison doesn't stay stick on this guy (like for Sam Fender "the new Springsteen"...), he just needs to be himself and find his own way, with no unattainable comparisons, in my opinonin.
