Johnny23 records puts out “MUTILATOR” the album put together by BOXGUTS and Will Taubin. BoxGuts..BoxGuts…Why does that name sound familiar? Well BoxGuts has been putting in work as an artist…way before the dropping of this album. He’s been “Mutilating” canvasas from his hometown of Brooklyn, NY. His art does not consist of clean symmetrical pieces that your girlfriend finds ” so beautiful”…but rather the complete opposite. Looking at his works is literally like looking inside your main organs. If you look closely at his works youll be sure to find a couple eye-balls, a couple dirty nails, and some brain tissue. Gives new meaning to the Fine arts doesnt it.
This album translates his paintings into an audible form for us to feast on. Incredible amounts of lyrics are layered on top of eachother throughout the 17 tracks on this album. His style is delivered forcefully and aggrressively yet it makes your head bop with soothness. Much props on the beats…I was really impressed by the production work on this album. The first couple tracks have thick baselines that Boxguts rips on. Then, the journey begins…like an uncontrollable disease…the beats start to spread into different realms, each beat sounding entirely different from the one before it. Track number 7 called “Electric Termite Mound Structure” alone takes you on a ride…Boxguts spits it thick and heavy…and the beat changes form throughout the track. You double check the track number thinking youre reaching the end of the album only to realize you’ve been taken on a journey by just one track. A couple of instrumentals are embedded in this album, all get your mind going on some creative think mode that will encourage you to build a time-machine. I am sure this album is entirely different from the last 20 albums you’ve copped…with that being said…id give this album five middle fingers that that’ll finger-fuck you out of normality. original indeed. BoxGuts and Will Taubin defintitley Keep it Gutter!
