Seminal producer, artist, and seven-time Grammy Award winner Mike Dean has released a new album, the fifth installment of his annual 4:20 series, titled 4:24. 4:24 is described as "A masterclass in compositional arrangements, synth, and guitar playing." The songs are textured and psychedelic, filled with surprising sonic twists that rarely keep the listener in one place for long.
Accompanying the album is a psychedelic short film created by director Jason Goldwatch, renowned for his work with Kid Cudi, Pharrel, Travis Barker, Nas, The Alchemist, etc. The video highlights the human experience through the eyes of a robot, via layered imagery custom made for the mostly analog tracks. The abstract storyline alongside the compositions creates a dreamy electronic soundscape of mechanized consciousness questioning time and space alongside flesh and death.
