a deconstructed concert w/ Mobley, Urban Heat, Jonny Jukebox

In line with pandemic EP pairing Young & Dying in the Occident Supreme (2021) and Cry Havoc! (2022), Mobley’s new worktape bears meditative body movers and sing-alongs. An audio documentary of both soul-stoppers, the 23-track cassette strips back the studio bomp of his big-delivery anthems to the everyday genius of unfettered creativity. Natural, instinctual, immediate, worktape stills with side-A closer “Lost Boys / Occidental Death (sound check recording),” which flutters like an alt-demo for an R&B standard like “Little Wing.” Stageless, PA-less, with each patron given headphones to tune in to multiple live mixes, A Deconstructed Concert merges performer, audience, and collaborators Urban Heat. – Raoul Hernandez
