Description
The Longfellow Project sounds like a Lucio Fulci soundtrack produced by Pete Rock on a summer saturday morning accompanied by lots of chitter chatter from two crass individuals with multiple personalities.
Notes
Fresh from the underworld of overdeveloped cul-de-sac sprawl between Baltimore and D.C comes…The Longfellow Project – a young post-modern hip-hop duo that’s not exactly sure what post-modern means but doesn’t need to look it up on Wikipedia. It just sounds right. If the shoe fits, kick it.
Breathalyzer readings show heavy influence from hip-hop staples like A Tribe Called Quest and Beastie Boys but also prog-rockers like Goblin, Todd Rundgren and The Mars Volta. Sounding like two post-apocalyptic survivalists sifting through the rubble of today’s pop music on a mission to reconstruct the classic hip-hop that’s been stuck in their heads ever since middle school - the rhymes flow freely like AIG bonuses. Throw in a few helpings of video games, horror movies, and Saturday morning cartoon characters and you might start to get the picture. But don't stare, you might miss a verse.
Formed in 2008 and currently based in Baltimore - the collaboration of Beyond Z and Dylan K has so far resulted in one self-produced full length album - with plenty more in the works.
Beyond Z has released dozens of tracks since 2006 fusing archetypal emceeing over dusty samples and synth textured electro-beats, recently dropping a solo album ‘The Black Hole’. Dylan K joined forces with a shared vision for taking their love of hip-hop storytelling and dense soundscapes out of the basement and into hands-in-the-air live performances.
The Longfellow Project’s 15 track self-titled debut is available now. They plan to drop their second album "Rise of the Octopus" in Fall 2009. For booking requests and all other correspondence please visit their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/thelongfellowproject
