zzzacck It's deeply psychedelic and the lyrics read like folk. It's also a collage. It's hard to describe the experience of this album briefly. Once you've started, you can't stop.

Whyte Rushan heard this on b95fm drive show, they didn't annnounce the track, so I hit them up later on, on Fuckbook, and asked for the track name, and they messaged me back, with the artists name, so here we are....spaced out Favorite track: I Woke Up in a Fucked-Up America.

Polygondwanajams Lonnie's music is beyond music. It pushes us outside of ourselves but also inside of ourselves to explore. It is instructive without being preachy. It is human. It is love. Favorite track: I Woke Up in a Fucked-Up America.

about

The expansive American experience Lonnie Holley quilts together across his astounding new album, MITH, is both multitudinous and finely detailed. Holley’s self-taught piano improvisations and stream-of-consciousness lyrical approach have only gained purpose and power since he introduced the musical side of his art in 2012 with Just Before Music, followed by 2013’s Keeping a Record of It. But whereas his previous material seemed to dwell in the Eternal-Internal, MITH lives very much in our world — the one of concrete and tears; of dirt and blood; of injustice and hope.

Across these songs, in an impressionistic poetry all his own, Holley touches on Black Lives Matter (“I’m a Suspect”), Standing Rock (“Copying the Rock”) and contemporary American politics (“I Woke Up in a Fucked-Up America”). A storyteller of the highest order, he commands a personal and universal mythology in his songs of which few songwriters are capable — names like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Joanna Newsom and Gil Scott-Heron come to mind.

MITH was recorded over five years in locations such as Porto, Portugal; Cottage Grove, Oregon; New York City and Holley’s adopted hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. These 10 songs feature contributions from fellow cosmic musician Laraaji, jazz duo Nelson Patton, visionary producer Richard Swift, saxophonist Sam Gendel and producer/musician Shahzad Ismaily.
