Skyzoo – All The Brilliant Things (Album Stream)

Skyzoo‘s new album is now available. Three years of conceptualizing, writing, building, imagining, and recording have led us to his newest and most profound work All The Brilliant Things.

My music has always been a combination of a few things: storytelling, motive, and reflection. I tell stories that speak on the motives of those I grew up with and why they’re such, and then reflect on how those things impacted us all, both my inner circle and subconsciously, the listener. With All The Brilliant Things, the idea was to truly try and tackle the realities of gentrification, and this new era of cultural appropriation, commonly known as “culture vulturing”. The way they intertwine with one another, parallel at times, and how us as the residents of our long standing homes and creatures of these cultures have been stripped of it, or at times let it happen, and even in some cases sadly helped it happen, all for what we assumed was our best interest. The irony of it all is, despite how it all makes us feel in hindsight, one would have to admit that the orchestration of it was truly brilliant. Brutal, and heinous, but somehow pretty brilliant. Hence the title of the album.
