Fresh Squeezed: Sole

"Nothing original is left un-improved to ruin"

It seems like more and more known musicians are willing to step outside the normal structure of music and album to create a unique product these days. A few weeks ago I talked about the new album from Chris Connelly and now details are starting to surface about the latest project from Tim Holland (aka Sole). Over the course of fifteen years he has released 15-plus albums under the monickers of sole, sole & the skyrider band, & mansbestfriend. His radical approach to hip-hop songwriting has earned him countless accolades and a worldwide cult following. However his new project, The Prye, with Denver poet and painter Ravi Zupa goes far beyond anything Sole has done in the past.

Being release on September 7th on Black Canyon Music/ Parts and Labor Union, The Prye is essentially a seventy-two page illustrated epic poem with an accompanying full length "audiobook/album." The poem touches on everything from work, time, human interaction, invention, "progress," & ethics. It seems to an exploration of life from both an historic and futuristic point of view.

You can currently pre-order the album, and the artwork that is in the book format of The Prye is currently on display at Illiterate Gallery in Denver.
