Mk.gee interview from February 21, 2024 by Benji B on BBC Radio 1. Mike talks about the ethos for his album Two Star and the Dream Police, liminal spaces, "human" music, and being a jazz kid.

    If it were helpful, I’d call him a genius. More than that, he is prophetic (without all the obsessive dogmatism). Mkgee points humans to a new era of spiritual potentiality. Beautiful, uncanny, inspirational.

    My friend sent me this album and at first i thought i didnt like it, because it sounded so off and like the mix was so not what i expected it to be. and it wasnt until she asked me why that was “bad”, i started to understand the hyper- intentionality of the record. it made no sense that an artist with the technical talent he has drops the ball on the presentation. I dont think there is many artists thinking of the way Mk.gee is thinking right now.

    He’s really the Jonathan Glazer of music. Everything has intention and purpose, it’s so powerful and almost overwhelming. Just a genius.

    Can someone elaborate on what Mk.Gee means about the concept of people trying to sound “human” in today’s music? I’m a bit confused on what he means by that. Ironically, I felt his album felt extremely raw and in your face. I could hear the mess ups and impromptu moments. I could hear the imperfections. The scratches of tape. The rustling of strings and instruments. Which is what he described as human and evil In the interview. But am I missing something? 😅

    • @EL-de7sk
      @EL-de7sk 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      i think he means people put effort to make songs ‘raw’ and ‘real’ when in reality it’s fabricated rawness

    "there are no stakes, the stakes are not as high as people think" wow... this guy. Louis Cole and MkGee are the only two artist with a strong "song-writer/popular" element that are generational artist (*that i'm aware of). Artist that are ushering us into a new time, where music and things dont suck. if you know others on this level leave a note <3

    artists using the word 'record' to describe their art is so pretentious. no one outside of the industry uses that word to describe music, songs, albums. its like a right of passage to call your music a 'record'. Its not even a download, just a click at this point.

    • @PoipleBabby
      @PoipleBabby 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yeah calling the art you recorded a record is fucking gay. What, are painters gonna call the art they painted 'paintings' next? what's this world come too...

    Fucking genius. I’ve been obsesssedddd. Another commenter used the word hiraeth. I didn’t realize I craved this entire album until I heard it. Like something I was missing. After hearing this interview and finding out that it was purposely done. Incredible! Can’t wait to see you in September 😍😍

    Mk.gee commenting on the 'evil' quality of working on a record for three years . . . I don't know if I'd use the word 'evil' but I agree it's a bit questionable to work on single rock record with 12 songs for a length of time that almost equals, like, Hendrix's entire career.

    Hearing that one of the dudes from Inc. is on the record blew my mind and made complete sense at the same time. 'Swear' was 2011 for god's sake. Pop music might have finally caught up to them with this whole mk.gee x Dijon extended universe thing. Promising developments. Makes me so happy.
