Provoker - Body Jumper - VINYL LP

Provoker return with Mausoleum. Refined, ornate and bigger than ever, Mausoleum takes Provoker's shadowy sound to new heights, aided by executive producer Kenny Beats. InchPop on the outside, dark on the insideInch. Embodied by the garish arcade machine on the cover, the songs on Mausoleum lure listeners in with addictive melodies and slick production, but hold them tight with the tales of heartbreak, loss and revelation within.

Provoker are an LA-based post-punk band. Their sophomore album, Demon Compass, has accrued over 6.7 million streams, sold out of it's initial D2C pressing, and led to a nation-wide headlining tour. This is the first retail for the band, answering demand from their quickly growing fanbase.

Following up on the incredible success of El Michels & Black Thought's Glorious Game album the duo treat us to another 7Inch with two of the standouts from the album.The A Side InchHollow WayInch is a testament to the chemistry between Leon & Thought. EMA uses his signature sound with a new approach pulling records from his collection and sampling them. The result is a gritty lo sonic backdrop that Black Thought exes his lyrical brillance on weaving a tune about guns and gun violence. The beat change at the end drives the point home, leaving any samples behind and let's the band remind people why they are one of the most in demand acts out there today.The B side InchI'm Still SomehowInch is a deeply introspective tune that Thought rhymes about vulnerability and overcoming challenges with heavy lines like Incha happy black boy is like an alienInch and Inchone crown, who was run down, somehow still standing tallInch. Michels again takes his ear and sensibility to the sampler, chopping up an old 45 that makes the perfect backdrop for this powerful and timeless song.
