This Time I'Ll Be Of Use

Description

A POETIC AND ADDICTIVE DEBUT ALBUMPRODUCED BY 3 PILLARS OF INDIANAPOLIS'ALTERNATIVE HIP-HOP SCENEThe group 81355 (pronounced BLESS) is thefruit of the collaboration of three pillars of theIndianapolis music scene: Sirius Blvck, OreoJones, and Sedcairn Archives. While they haveworked together in the past, this is their firstfull-fledged collaboration, and the result is thestunning and distinctive Time I’ll Be of Use. Atonce mystical and pure, dark and danceable,the project grapples with preconceived truthsand imagines alternative realities with a betterfuture. These daydreams wandering throughfiery streets sound like a cross between theghost of 70s progressive electronic music withits innovative eccentricities and acrobaticwordplay delivered with strong resolve. While surreal in its metaphors and abstraction, it doesnot betray a present consciousness. Reflectingon racism in the context of a pandemic-ridden2020 and a faltering democracy, each memberstarted from a synchronized space, and the recording process ended up being largelyintuitive. These three musical vagabonds ultimately deliver an incredible, poetic, andaddictive alternative hip-hop record.
