This track is excerpted from Buck 65’s “woodshop” trilogy, \Dirtbike\.


The trilogy as a whole embodies intelligence in impressive arcs and swerves. Buck 65’s soundscapes and sonic bending press you to bring all systems online and experience his music. Grok:

Here’s an excerpt originally posted on Buck 65’s website.

Lovers,

I have completed the task I had set out for myself to put together three huge album\’s worth of music in three months - what\’s been called the \’Dirtbike\’ project. In these last three months I managed to write and record approximately 70 songs. The three \”albums\” are each around an hour in length…

Right now I think of Dirtbike 1-3 as a woodshed demo project. But I\’ve wanted to share this work, at this stage, with anyone who was interested in hearing it. So I sent copies to a few friends and to the people who contributed and they\’ve floated around a bit from there.

It was just really important for me at this point in my career to act creatively without any consideration for money or press or anything other than art. I refuse to see any of this work as a failure in terms of sales or critical response or whatever. So I guess it could be said that this is just something I had to do for myself.

Finally, these recordings were made at home with crappy gear and were mixed in headphones that are 15 years old and were never very good in the first place. So they are pretty lo-fi. So for the few of you who will hear them, they\’re best heard in headphones. On a stereo and especially in a car, they will probably sound awful.

As of the date of this post, for more Buck 65, you can download albums one and two from this trilogy for free,
