Dereos Roads + Jumbled - Saw the Landmark, Miss the Turn - BRAND NEW CASSETTE TAPE

Saw the Landmark Missed the Turn is a collaboration that Jumbled and I started working on back in 2021. Almost a concept album, it originally began as a project tentatively titled Seven Stories High, which no, was not a reference to altering one’s state of mind, but instead an idea for an EP where every song, all 7, told a different story. Nearly 4 years later, it expanded into a 27 minute (or are more minutes hidden?) journey into stories and the portrayal of attitudes & perspectives not necessarily our own, with the occasional head chopping of wack MCs.

Evoking a nostalgic mood with samples, themes & stories from the late 20th century to contemporary times, the tracks are layered with synths, keyboard and punchy bass lines. Though we made it for everyone, it's a nod to a different time, our generation and those before who knew what life was like before cell phones, the 24 hour news cycle & the demands of constant connection.
