Science
EP arrives at a time when the world needs it. The eponymous title track is about recognizing the power and connection that we all have to the cosmos -- and it feels like no coincidence that this body of work arrives in 2021. The EP balances universal themes with playfulness; asks hard questions relating to accountability and materiality whilst remaining musically cohesive and funky throughout. An exceedingly difficult artist to pigeonhole, MMYYKK (pronounced
Mike
) works concurrently within the realms of soul, jazz, hip hop, R&B and ambient; his sound equally indebted to his fellow west-coast natives
Thundercat
and
Flying Lotus
as it is to synth experimentalists
Herbie Hancock
and
Stevie Wonder
. Whilst MMYYKK operates as the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and engineer across all six tracks, you can still hear the richness of improvisation musical collaboration involved in the making of this record, with numerous cameos from artists in MMYYKK's adopted hometown of Minneapolis as well as a feature from London's very own
Demae
. The city of Minneapolis, whilst not addressed directly in the lyrics, provided a backdrop like no other whilst this album was coming together. Being at the epicenter of such a tragedy had a profound effect on the formation of the EP... "The city was literally burning..." MMYYKK recalls as he goes on to explain that tackling themes such as police reform, reparations and accountability in his work is his way of taking a stand in the fight for justice. Despite the grief prevalent in the city, the EP exudes a complex "dopeness", executed so effortlessly it belies the skill involved in the process -- it's precisely this nonchalant cool that defines what
Science
means to the artist. While you can dissect the inspirations and trace the lineage of this body of work -- the result is singular. It's clear that
Mychal Fisher
, aka MMYYKK, is operating on his own terms, in a lane of his own -- and making it look easy. For fans of:
The Internet
, Thundercat, Flying Lotus,
Moonchild
,
Robert Glasper
,
MNDSGN
,
Anderson .Paak
. Limited edition LP version comes on yellow marbled vinyl.
