I’ll be honest with you all. Before I even listened to this thing, I was hyped. From the artwork to the album title, this already looked interesting as hell, but as soon as I heard that intro dialogue, I knew this was THE SHIT. Let’s talk about it!
So, this is the latest EP by producer Moose Tarantino, a man I discovered thanks to his frequent work alongside Flames Dot Malik of BSF. Across this one are 5 tracks:
-A Moose Attack
-Get Away From Me
-Antlers Of Death
-Got You
-No Real Survivors
And man, let me tell you, I just love that creativity. The man named Moose goes, ‘You know what the world needs? A conceptual EP about the danger of moose.’ That’s some gangsta shit right there!
Regardless, I absolutely love the sound of this one. It’s fun, colourful, vibrant, and infectious. It seems the beats just jump out alive. The only other project I can compare that to would be ODB’s ‘Return To The 36 Chambers: Dirty Version,’ where the production RZA did literally sound sentient and toonish. In the same respect, these beats have a touch of dynamic sound and power that it just makes it sound like you’re listening to a cinematic movie right in your house.
The use of a different vocal snippet for each track is absolutely fantastic and adds so much using so little. I never in my lifetime thought I’d be listening to a project about the danger of moose, but who better than Moose using his ‘dangerous’ weapon of producing to bring that to my attention?
Happy Birthday to Moose, and at the same time, my 100th review on my website to be this masterpiece of a beat tape. If you ain’t checking this shit out, then you’re wasting your time elsewhere!
