For my upcoming Kometenschmidt album, I released the first track with a video on YouTube. It is made of footage I found on pexels.com and with all the material, I kind of could tell a little story about discovering music in a record store.
“The Old Record Store” is a melancholic tribute to the good old record store. Back in the day, I spent pretty much every cent of my allowance in these stores and would spend hours there, listening through albums and discovering new music. After a few visits, the people in the store got to know me and my taste. They’d reach into a section with the latest relevant releases. Almost reverently, every vinyl was placed on the turntable, and with curiosity, you’d strap on the headphones. Like treasures, the records were carefully taken home to be played over and over again. John, also known as BrainDED from Minnesota, had similar experiences in his youth and captured his memories in a few lines of lyrics that he raps over the beat. Enjoy this first glimpse of the album, and if you like it, get excited for November 7, 2024.
