“Disaster Action Kid” About to Drop – Peep the Art

You should look at the album art for Adjective Records’ first release, “Disaster Action Kid” by 5dots because its really really good. I founded and “run” Adjective (in the loosest sense of the term) with Craig/5dots and Brittany, and we couldn’t more excited about this first release. Well, Brittany is pretty excited about knitting, probably more so than the release, but Craig and I are excited. In fact, things on the whole for Adjective are going great: the album has come together in sound, style and quality; the label is getting material from prospective artists almost weekly; and 5dots has really come into his own as a performer, as evidenced by his set at this past Sunday’s OpenMinijax.

I’m in the album credits for “telling [5dots] what sucks,” and I’ll admit that I imparted my share of criticism when Craig was first exploring the sound of this release. But for my criticism, or perhaps in spite of it, he’s really found a groove – a gritty, distorted, jiggy, playful, and genuinely engaging groove. So my criticism comes to an end, as I’m really happy to have my name associated with this release. This thing is gonna drop like a firebomb. Fo’ real.

I’ll save my negative comments for the demos we’ve been getting. Goddamn but there’s some shitty music out there. Goddamn.
