Listen to Corporate Culture: CEO Edition
A collection of 8 unreleased tracks from the Corporate Culture Cinematic Universe (CCCU), we’re treated to remixes, re-imaginings, and new material from the standpoint of the those we all know and question, CEOs.
“Executive Elevator” opens the listen with Hasard’s contributions making for a harmonic and mysterious start, and “Hostile Takeover” follows with a glitchy appeal, where fierce vocals and a pummeling presence from Cocojoey and Davidavi Dolev hits us with much intensity.
“Ducks In A Row” occupies the middle spot and blends alt-rock with calm ebbs in its abrasive versus gentle approach, while “Cell! Cell! Sell!” features Lou Kelly and Fire-Toolz via the hip-hop influenced fury.
Late in the listen, “Move The Needle” is a dreamy moment that’s got a soulful quality and enlists scrappy drumming, and “Executive Reception (Lunch Will Be Provided)” features Raphael Weinroth-Browne and brings strings to the equation, where a classical appeal won’t go unappreciated.
A highly iconoclastic effort that somehow blends sophistication with screeching episodes, Double Mute certainly aren’t keeping quiet about their disdain for corporate culture, nor should they.
Travels well with: Glasblume- City In Rain; Robec- The Forest Is Too Loud
