I'm a diehard
Makeup and Vanity Set fan. Regardless of
yk Records releasing a couple albums from him (of which I am immensely proud), I would be a diehard fan and continuously be listening to his wealth of output. Over the course of the last year he's really found a niche with providing the soundtrack to various podcasts and short films -
Foyer,
Mather,
Up and Vanished, et al. - but his latest release, the
Overpass OST is, sonically, quite a bit different.
The 41-track release consists of songs largely under 3 minutes. It's the soundtrack to a videogame, so that is a sensible fact but it's atypical for MAVS as his songs tend to take their time setting a mood and sprawling out. The songs are upbeat, not nearly as "dark" as you'd generally associate with MAVS and a damn delight to listen to.
He also released a full
Production Kit, so if you find yourself wanting to download the loops used in his creations, you can have at it.
I've no doubt there's more tricks up MAVS sleeve and I look forward to each and every one of them.
