I don’t typically review music, this is something that I most often leave to Patrick as the “in house musician”. In this case, I felt strongly compelled to bring this EP to everyone’s attention.
I got a hold of the new 5 track EP Harmony, by DeScribe. There’s only one thing for me to say:
YES!
The first track, Harmony, really hits hard. It’s got a great beat, pulling you in, while the lyrics are full of appeals for unity, impelling us to look to the Creator above to create harmony between people. DeScribe has a way of pulling ethereal spiritual realities down into the 21st century. He’s got a strong understanding of the digital age and even more interestingly to me, a sense of how the Torah translates into this age. The melodies flow hypnotically, and the beats just pulse.
Modern Day Moses, the second track, is my favorite. The strings meld with the beat, inspiring the feeling of following Moses out of Mitzrayim. The background vocals are sharp and hypnotizing, drawing you into an auditory landscape and striking an atavistic chord, bringing to my mind deeply buried memories of the Israelites.
This is a great EP. Ever since hearing DeScribe’s work with Y-Love and the Change EP (which I also highly recommend), I have been looking forward to hearing more from DeScribe. With this release I have to say I haven’t been disappointed. It is nice to hear some strong music with a strong message. I greatly look forward to hearing more in the near future!
