Typically, it’s good measure to do two things in the beginning of the fall so shit gets prepared for the cold weather to come (those of us that DO experience this shrill). First thing you gotta do is have a plan to be ultra productive: start a project, schedule each weekend according to the weather, work out like a maniac, and generally muster up an energy that is productive/active. Second is start listening to the bluest jams, lyrically and/or sonically. Guess who’s helping you activate this mindset?
You’re the best, Chocolate Grind reader! And on the feels-mending is Tallinn, with a wooze that’s easy to apply within any situation. Especially running. Think about it listening to “Return To The Abraham Mosque.”
Actually, thinking about it aside from running, but contextually with the title — and not really paying close attention to lyrics (which I think are describing the Mosque details? or not about it at all?) — “Return To The Abraham Mosque” just picture the teen-made ironic local-backwoods mosque to Abraham; stumbling upon crudely rudimentary effigies and probably drug paraphernalia, but mostly beer cans/bottles, hearing distant singing or fingers taping or maybe it’s the cellphone towers clanging
Running relieves so much tension and stress, and if your one who gets bummed out the sky is dark at 4PM or hate the cold, taking all that rage out physically, pumping your heart and lungs and legs whilst Tallinn rings out, your patience might stretch as the sound and composure of “Return To The Abraham Mosque” swirls with the fading sun. It also reminds me of a lot of the 1997 Alt-Rock tunes I’d listen to on the bus going to middle school via a low-battery Walkman just as everyone started smelling the death of earth’s foliage.
This August 27 (FUCKING THURSDAY!!!), Zoom Lens is pimpin’ Tallinn’s newest release Special Economic Zone, which to quote the label:
” It’s definitely one of the more challenging records throughout Zoom Lens’ discography, but I think it sets the stage for a lot more experimental and left-field projects to come, so I thought it would be something of interest to TMT’s readership.”
STOKED FOR EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY THURSDAY!
