Some day I'll get back to promo / review posts. But for now it's just easier to hook you guys up with free music!
Today we got some old old from New Englander ghost chasing rapper Nomar Slevik. With a deep resonant voice, unique production style and a totally original brand of creepy sing-rapping Nomar Slevik is a pioneer in the New England indie rap scene exemplified by folks like JD Walker, Brzowski, Bread and yes even Sole.
In the Field Where I Died is a great one to start with if you don't know him, while this is exactly what the name and cover suggest which is a loose hodgepodge of tracks not found elsewhere, very lo-fi and definitely not all amazing. Nomar Slevik is actually someone I think of promptly when I hear the term "hit or miss". To me a good Nomar Slevik track is fantastic, a not good one is basically a skit gone wrong. To be fair I think that tendency to bullseye or miss the target entirely is a hallmark of the experimental musician and means they're willing to take risks.
I just say all that to express that there's some great music on here so be patient with it, and definitely look into his other stuff if you haven't already. If nothing else it's original as hell.
Love his sound. Wrote him last year and asked for the "Bootleg Pt. 1" Unfortunately, his sc profile has been inactive since a long time. I am still waiting for response. : ) ) Its not easy to find stuff from yr Wantlist. Really not. Someday, I stumble in here with a little surprise. ★ Thank you. Denis
