Purple Dialect
answers an ad on
Craigslist
to raid
PLANET PUMPKIN
. The orc hives are a little more lit than they appeared [in] the brochure. Zane has to decide if the job is worth it when he finds out it only pays in candy corn and
Samba
45's,"
Zane Rice
AKA rapper-producer
Purple Dialect
wrote within the
description for his latest album.
PLANET PUMPKIN
is sub-titled,
"GHOST VOLCANO: SEASON 1; EPISODE 4"
and an impassioned Rice asserts, "this is a mixtape. It's raw as f**k. Hopefully, you like it."
Purple Dialect
's
follow-up,
PLANET PUMPKIN
, as you might have already deduced, is a largely
Halloween
-themed and inspired album from
Philly
's own
Purple Dialect
.
PLANET PUMPKIN
consists of 13 spook-tacular tracks from
Purple Dialect
, who said he simply "just tried to make music that [he] liked." He then, called in frequent collaborators
(1/2 of
GHOST VOLCANO
) and
Shawn Johnson
AKA
oldsoulbrother1
to help create the album art/
"Cocoa"
video—both of whom
Purple Dialect
worked closely with on his last project,
CAMPFIRE EP
.
PLANET PUMPKIN
was largely produced by
Purple Dialect
himself with one track each from
Chameleon Sessions
, DJ Prominent,
Nimzo
, Reckonize Real, and
SiM
.
PLANET PUMPKIN
showcases features from
B. Moore
, Manny Marko,
Vas Vigoda
, and one-time
Das Racist
emcee
which as
"Veggie Lasagna" (2006 flip phone mix)
seemingly alludes, were "called [in] from overseas on flip phones."
"Cocoa"
director
Shawn Johnson
had this to say on his latest creation: "This was my first time collaborating on a project.
Spook
sent me about 80 different scanned images; each star, figure, title, dot, etc. I made animations out of them in
After Effects
.
Zane
sent me footage of him in [his laundry room] through email and I was able to
out the background. I also created the background in
After Effects
. A lot of the images are literal interpretations of the lyrics. After all the editing of the clips, it was a matter of plugging everything in and making each quote transition smooth into the other."
Purple Dialect
's latest,
PLANET PUMPKIN
, is now available for streaming and download on
from
GHOST VOLCANO
, just in time for your ghoulish
Halloween
festivities.
