BOG STENCHMARE

The warriors stood in the temple, lined up on either side, arms raised high, their pits exposed towards the ceiling. In keeping with tradition, it was 2 months since any of them had seen bathing water. The smell was fetid, but necessary to summon it. One of the warriors was sat on the floor, facing two plinths, legs crossed, arms raised, a double whammy of natural odor oozed down his body, the vapor released from his skin to fill the air. He spoke in a language, too guttural for human ears, but roughly translated; 'W ake up you lazy f, we summon thee ' Did they smell it? did they hear? did they wake?  Soon...

Before Bog sinks back into metal, or whatever the swamp spits out from the boiling bubble, here is the latest joint from Tenzoe .  Amrita , has stronger jazz feels than previous releases, but they are intertwined with the lo-fi old school dynamic. Imagine a super chill cat MC sat in a chair dropping bars on human life, politics, societal behavior, spirituality, psychedelics, and more. It's a chill flow, delivered calmy again with classic hip hop story telling, and full of content.  Production is tight, audio clean, beats are organized, samples are clean, so it's a balanced listen. Those who prefer more of an aggressive flow, harder beats, and big drops, then they may not feel it, but it's a different, and interesting take.  Amrita by Tenzoe & Sponatola Follow Tenzoe: https://tenzoe22.bandcamp.com/album/amrita-2

  Eremition by Tenzoe Another from Tenzoe , lo-fi, a calm patient journey across deep themes, conscious reflections, introspective, delivered calmy and cleanly. The beats have the familiar gritty signature late night city production feels, and features guest MCs appearing. Two particular bangers for y'all are: House of Flying Daggers and  Post singularity ,   which is mad lo fi and sinister af with references to the problem with AI, dystopian and dark sci-fi themes, and is a fire stand out. Eremition is available from Bandcamp.  Links: https://tenzoe22.bandcamp.com/album/eremition

Yo! What’s good? Bog was diving in and out the swamps, and they stumbled upon Dwapara Yuga:  The Lost Tapes  from these 2 cats. We don’t play the algorithm network game, so not sure where to peep the EP outside of the links below, it's not hosted on Tenzoe's Bandcamp, so Dwapara Yuga:  The Lost Tapes are for real! but listen/support at the links below.  From what Bog’s ears can recognize, lo-fire, very old school influenced beat rhythm and structure akin to the legacy crime/gangster movies. What you would expect to hear on the soundtrack for those movies with subtle patterns dropped on the beat. The 3 tracks are bangers, especially ‘ Megapixelz ’.  Bog also think's the beat would be a sick crossover to drop in a DnB set and Tenzoe's flow would complement the pace. Bog fell into that habit again of counting the time in their mind again. Def banger of the bangers on the EP. Subtle funk bass lines, slower beat pace, but very street, clean flow projecting a ...

  1. Surviving Is Not Living.  Synth arrangements, melodic guitars parts straight from prog/melodic tones, with a small trace of Industrial Rock. Breakdown to go into an almost dark synth passage, which wouldn't be far away from a lighter cyberpunk injection. Intentionally harmonious with Electro coming towards the end of the track. Subtle use of atmosphere, also holds and grabs the listeners attention, possibly stimulating them to relate to the lyrical concepts. A little gentle for Bog’s flavor, but the music has been layered, mixed, contextualized, and presented very well. It’s not horrible by any measure and those who are fans of slow melancholy electro will feel it. Good vocal ranges to match the emotive feel. 2. The Fallen. Very futuristic electro synth feels and we can see a sky car flying past a skyscraper whilst The Fallen blasts out the sound system. The background melody serves as the foundation, helping generate the vibe of the track, harmonic, and it’s hard not to...
