Big Zach of Twin Cities hip-hop cornerstone Kanser recently hit me with this exciting news regarding a new project he's involved in. More Than Lights is local hip-hop band comprised of Big Zach and Unicus of Kanser, along with vocalist Natalie Fine, guitarist Matiu Unga, drummer Corey Hess (also the album’s production engineer), keyboardist/saxophone player Joshua “Jellyfish” Holmgren and bassist Christopher Hunicutt. The band has been together since 2007, and has performed at shows in the Twin Cities at venues such as the Fine Line, First Avenue and the Varsity, and at events including the Bella Madre Festival, HarvestFest and EffitFest.
Finally, the Minneapolis-based alternative hip-hop band, launches its debut album, The Electric Prescription For All Your Funky Illz this month. The 11-song CD features all original music and lyrics, collaboratively written by its seven band members. The album will reportedly reflect the band’s diverse musical influences and unique cultural backgrounds, making them accessible to all types of music lovers.
Below are links to two songs off the album, and below that is a digital flyer for their album release party, happening this Saturday, November 21 at the Cabooze in Minneapolis.
