Crixus : “Throwaways Vol.2″
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
Its been a long time between releases for MC/Producer Crixus, but for fans of his individual style of honest, introspective lyricism, its worth the wait.
“Throwaways Vol. 2” is the ?rst full length release from Crixus since 2007 & the ?rst release by newly formed Tasmanian Hip hop label, Edge of the World Records. A hectic music schedule (& life) over the past 6 years, encompassing everything from resident club nights, regular radio appearances, national & international support slots, to quiet spoken word poetry nights in dingy cafes & published work in national poetry reviews has led to inevitable delays, but its ?nally here.
But this isn’t really an album per se. It’s more a collection of songs worked on in downtime between other projects. It consists of songs that were getting dangerously close to becoming obsolete & unfelt, remixes & collaborations that just didn’t ?t snuggly enough into the cohesive artistic vision of other projects. Some songs have been heard before, but the vast majority haven’t been aired outside Crixus‘ headphones, until now.
It’s a personal and cathartic journey through a few of the darker corners of Crixus‘ mind. From the story telling social commentary of “Grow a Pair” & “Danny” to the obligatory breakup song with crooning vocals of “Don’t Tell Me”, Crixus has touched on all areas of the sometimes painfully honest spectrum. It’s songs of neglect, depression and loss, but more importantly, its songs to move on.
With all art & design handled by the talented Archibald M. Popes, “Throwaways Vol. 2″ comes together as a completely complimentary package.
