Bless up, y’all. Here we go once more. Time travels and the mind rambles. The soup don’t come from a can and words just evade your optic sensors, so in a nutshell, smoke this and take it easy. These tracks were created between spring 2018 and September 2018, with the exception of ‘Swift as the Breeze’. That one was made during the Concert For One sessions in spring 2017. A lot of patient waiting and soul gyrating. Do you ever put coffee in a thermos and just go into the woods? I would. Feel the evolution and at the same time embrace the nostalgia. The music develops a golden patina over time. Some prefer this over whatever current, shiny audio trinkets rattle in a most ephemeral manner. Me? I’m Kareem Serene. I do the long play. It just has to be that way. Darryl Rodway once said to me “hey Moke.. how come you never wear Napoleon Dynamite type of boots for an album cover shoot?” I simply replied, “horsejazz, D…who better to do what I do better?” Darryl had no option but to concede to an agreeing nod. URBNET knows what type of a ride we are on. Like a slow, lumbering, freight train, on maintenance-deferred trackage. It may not be glamorous but darned if the sonic din doesn’t make a few dogs howl. And with that, we now present Patina. (For ages 8 and up, no assembly required, batteries not included).
