The Washington, D.C. duo's music ' 'abstract hip hop,' if you must slap a label on it ' has long favored a freewheelin' and improvisational approach. Their single-take gonzo mind-melds currently span 19 Bandcamp-only releases, a compilation album, one full-length LP, and numerous mixpates. \u003ci\u003eboth feet en th infinite\u003c\/i\u003e enters a newly meditative territory. The music is Funkadelic-esque in its mutant decadence, but also strangely hypnotic. Here Model Home's core duo ' Nappy Nappa (words) and Pat Cain (home-made Serge modular synthesizer) ' is augmented by producer and Future Times label-founder, Andrew Field-Pickering (Max D), whose obliquely funky rhythm tracks set a solid foundation for the group to spill alien logic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe record's 7 songs were captured in just two days with the goal of creating a Model Home record that could eventually be replicated on stage. All but two songs are full-blown live takes and there's a communal energy present via contributions from a who's who of contemporary DMV heads ' including Dreamcast, Awad Bilal (Too Free), Luke Stewart (Irreversible Entanglements), Bubbie, and Rob Stokes. The album was engineered with Mike Petillo (Geo Rip). Model Home create and release music at an intimidating pace. Amid that flood of noise and thought there are moments that mark a shift in tone and approach. Last year's album SE was one, as was the compilation One Year. both feet en th infinite is another. It's relative stillness and gridded percussion mark a departure from Cain, Nappa, and Field-Pickering's status quo and also a renewal. It's a set that pulls double duty as a brain-breaking koan and an outer-limits party record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Giovanni","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50459431043403,"sku":"1137785","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/dfa3bddf-7e93-4a11-af4a-b4b5548db773_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727222115"},{"product_id":"one-year","title":"One Year","description":"\u003cp\u003eOtherworldly beat science from the currently vibrant Washington DC underground.

The spirit of free improvisation pervades the tracks, a sound evolving from two artistic sensibilities bouncing off each other without a set plan and creating a third pathway to unknown worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne Year\u003c\/i\u003e compiles tracks from 8 different self-released mixtapes made during an intense initial 12 month period of musical activity that birthed the project. Approached with the same archival sensibility that Disciples has brought to albums-that-never-were from Black Lodge, Bogdan Raczynski and His Name As Alive but with the idea of creating a framework to present an underground NOW sound. A Jamaican-style ‘showcase’ album for these outliers from the District of Columbia. Although without sonic precedent it somehow makes a kind of perverse sense that these sounds have emerged from the same place that birthed Dischord Records and Trouble Funk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP in reverse board sleeve with full colour printed inner sleeve and digital download card.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Disciples","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50498794094923,"sku":"1092402","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d68d1c1d-708c-4db9-a23f-1d848dcae949_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727757497"},{"product_id":"saturn-in-the-basement","title":"Saturn In The Basement","description":"\u003cp\u003eFurther collaborative experiments in liberated sound, vision, and performance.
