Rooted in the cultural exchange between the U.S.A., Puerto Rico, and Africa, the project machinates an intersection between soul, punk, salsa, doowop, jazz, funk, the avant-garde, and rap traditions, filtered through a distinctly New York City sensibility.\n\nThe ensemble’s practice is characterized by a mischievous alliance with ephemerality, lived experience, and site-specific signification with works often distributed unexpectedly and within limited physical windows. This emphasis on transience and communal memory remains central to the project’s ethos.\n\nOn SOTC “II” the New York outfit channels said philosophy into a 15-track album recorded by bandleader Gio Escobar and core collaborators Jack “Wacko” Nolan, Buz “Man-man” Donald, and Clérida “Ca$h Clay” Eltimé. The result is a tense, genre-defacing record that exists between fried psychedelia, rock-n-roll, no-wave rap, r\u0026amp;b, and post-hardcore energy; a mirror to a national moment of searching for meaning\/nothing\/sounds\/silence\/creation\/or destruction, through an overarching instability, alienation, decline, and refusal.\n\nFeatured artists include: The Warlockettes, Ladybug Mecca, Styles P, Bubba Dupree, Claudette Ortiz, Sonia Sanchez, Solange, Danny Brown\n\nTracklisting:\n1.
