Cheem - CheemTV (November 2, 2018) Album • Page 2

The rapping was initially my least favorite thing about the record and after reading the lyrics it’s one of my favorite aspects. It feels tongue-in-cheek to me in the best way possible, like they know what they’re doing is ridiculous and shouldn’t work but they’re gonna do it anyway. I adore that this record doesn’t take itself too seriously.

 

Oh yeah, that was just my first impression, I suspect I'll warm to it!

 

I hope so!! I’m honestly just so glad people are giving it a legitimate chance.


Also can we talk about how incredible the drumming on this is?

 

nvm

I still don't understand why but this is so good. They really went for it and somehow it works

 

Definitely going to check this out asap

 

Today I learned that Skye writes all the music and lyrics in Cheem, including mapping out the drums to midi, which are then slightly re-interpreted and recorded proper by their drummer. That dude deserves a fucking medal.

 

Wasn't super into this on first listen tbh. It might grow on me tho.

 

I hope it does! It did for me in a very big way. There’s really just way too much going on here to really catch it all on first glance.

 

I'm catching up on releases this month, spun this last night and wowzer its something special! Such a strange combination of sounds and infulences that somehow manages to not go overboard, which it easily could have. Only thing I don't like are a few of the rapping verses on here. Some of those kinda took me out of it. Otherwise a really interesting and cool record I'll definitely be listening to more often

 

Skye and Gabe are also in this band that just released their first single today, thought I’d share it here
