从各个意义上讲,宽度银河系都是旅行。
十多年来,Alt-R&B/Hip-Hop集体(星期六晚上玩Henke&Pillot)一直以非洲裔二级车的风格抛弃了深情的,嬉皮的嬉皮士凹槽。基本上,他们为所有曾经想知道我们是否真的在宇宙中的兄弟和索斯塔斯制作音乐。
这件衣服的首席歌手Kim“ SpaceBunny” Jefferson肯定是一个人。即使出生于休斯顿的诗人和歌手与虔诚的基督教妈妈和一个伊斯兰教的父亲一起长大,但他们仍然启发她在盒子外面思考。杰斐逊说:“这有助于我成长为对生活的真正开放和好奇,违背了赔率,违背规范和类似的事情。”“这让我想知道时间和空间和连续性,您知道,现实,替代宇宙 - 所有这些事情。”
When she was looking for producers to record a demo, she hooked up with the duo of Golden “King Midas” Corner (yes, that’s his real name) and Marcus “DJ Cozmos” Perry, former beatmakers for local rap crew HISD (Hueston Independent Spit District). “She was looking for producers just to try to do a song, and we wound up having some tracks that suited what she was trying to do,” says the San Diego-born Corner, who also produces music for his brother, rapper Scottie Spitten. “And then also, on the flip side of that, she kind of brought something to the table that we were looking for. Because there were a lot of different beats that we had and we didn’t know what to do with them. Because they weren’t rap beats, per se, and they were a little quirky, a little different.”
Corner,Jefferson和Cozmos很快就成立了Galaxy,并开始在2011年全长的首次亮相“ We Come One One”,开发自己的Sci-Fi Soul品牌,并以“ Lost in Space”,“ Time Travel”和“太空侵略者。”杰斐逊说:“我们曾经在墙上有屠夫纸,我们开始为整张专辑制作这个故事,绘制小动画片,符号和角色等等。”“这确实是有机的,就像什么都没有被迫。感觉很正确。事情终于自己汇聚在一起。”
即使科兹莫斯(Cozmos)现在位于亚特兰大,但这些不匹配的,太空时代的灵魂者仍然是一个紧密联系的单位。他们在2018年发行了大二学生唱片“ Noboy Dig Dig Dig Dig Your Music”。Corner和Jefferson也是一对夫妇,都抚养了一个名叫Sirius的六岁男孩。他们总是准备好欢迎新朋友进入。”生产者和HISD ALUM ERIC“ Nocatchphraze” Edwards发行后,Edwards成为了星系成员。他们不介意的另一位表演者包括在早期的R&B心跳加人卡尔·托马斯(Carl Thomas)中。

“当他听到我们的音乐时,有人为他演奏。”“Somebody was like, ‘Hey, check this out.’ He checked it out and was like, ‘Man, I need to get in touch with them.’” The “I Wish” singer and Houston resident eventually collaborated with the group on the single “YU,” which was released last year. “He could literally be in Radio Galaxy, which is weird because I never would’ve thought that. But the reality of it is, you know, these artists — a lot of artists have a lot of depth to them. Maybe they had success doing certain things, but that doesn’t define who they actually are.”
四人正在准备发行另一张专辑,标题为“ Signs”,今年的某个时候。在此之前,他们将在本周末在Henke&Pillot的一场演出中重返现场表演凹槽,并希望让更多的人加入他们的奇怪而深情的旅程。“我想让一个人(从我们的音乐中)夺走的是,伙计,做自己并享受生活,” Corne说。“玩得开心。因为这就是我们的音乐真正的目的。”
杰斐逊补充说:“不要害怕抓住机会并创造。您不需要知道谁听到它或谁在听。”
