专辑简介

Young New Orleans bred improviser and lyricist brings refinement to rock and cuts modern jazz with metal in the intimate stripped down Dominic Minix Quartet. Led by guitarist and singer, Dominic Minix, Yung vul/Minix Quartet combines polarizing genres from metal to modern jazz in a raw, and brooding sound with enigmatic lyrics, bright buzzing blues guitar. The DC Hardcore inspired intro riff to "Numb Me Now" breaks down the door into Yung vul's urgent yet apathetic message. Enigmatic and challenging, Yung vul's lyrics are inspired by the poetic lyricism of Dylan. Minix developed his improvisational skills in performing with jazz greats like Jesse McBride, Donald Harrison, and Delfeayo Marsalis. After touring internationally with Grammy nominated modern jazz trailblazer, Christian Scott, Minix returned home and recorded the four song Cannonball Adderall EP. With artistic discernment developed from working with his jazz mentors, Minix combines his pointed lyrics with wildly a dynamic sound that is simultaneously a warm invitation and a challenge to listeners. You are likely to hear the influence of Christian Scott, Slum Village, Nirvana, Radiohead, Hendrix, Wayne Shorter, Mos Def, Nick Drake, Bloc Party, and Sade.
