PLANET PUMPKIN

45's,"

Zane Rice

AKA rapper-producer

Purple Dialect

wrote within the

Bandcamp

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

CAMPFIRE EP

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

Luke "Spook" Novel

(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

Kool A.D.

which as

"Veggie Lasagna" (2006 flip phone mix)

seemingly alludes, were "called [in] from overseas on flip phones."

"Cocoa"

director

Shawn Johnson

(oldsoulbrother1)

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

"Rotoscope"

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

Bandcamp

from

GHOST VOLCANO

, just in time for your ghoulish

Halloween

festivities.
