Lower Life Forms has today released their new video for the track titled ‘Circling The Drain’ from their upcoming album ‘A Journey Through the Anthropocene’, dropping this spring.
Lyrically diverse and musically inclusive, this is a track that infuses freestyle with a neo-classic backbeat and passionate poetry. I have to mention about how much I love the title. The meaning behind it. The way it’s used in the song. That double entendre vibe with passive anarchy and positive social reaction.
However, being drenched in stellar music is the best way to convey the message and frame said title. A consistent burn without letting up. Do not waste your time hearing this on earbuds because this is perfect for a stereo. The vibe will get wasted. And vibe creates vision.
About Lower Life Forms
As two-thirds of the hip hop production squad, Team Demo, DJ Dialtone, and Mister Wise have an impressive discography behind records for hip hop luminaries such as 50 Cent and Sean Price, but their musical career began in the early 1990s in Burke, Virginia as a duo known as the Lower Life Forms.
While still in high school, the Life Forms were spotted by Ahmed and Otis (dancers for the legendary group, 3rd Bass,) who signed them to a management deal. After prospects with two major labels dissolved, Wise founded Depth Charge Recordings, a label and recording studio operation centered around his extended family of artists, producers, and DJs, known collectively as Team Demolition.
In 1997, the Lower Life Forms completed their debut album, “The Whole Universe is Ours,” and released their first 12-inch single, “Open Invitation.” After a small local cassette circulation, Wise opted to table the commercial release of the album to direct company resources towards the production of Team Demolition’s debut album. Wise and Dialtone would spend the next 25 years amassing scores of artistic, production, and technical credits before re-emerging as the Lower Life Forms in late 2021 with the remastered pressing of “The Whole Universe is Ours” album on Belgian label, Back 2 Da Source Records.
After the release of Team Demo’s “It’s a Demo,” album in late 2023, Wise and Dialtone began exploring the idea of creating another Lower Life Forms album. Inspired by the renewed interest in the group’s early work, the duo embarked on a project that begins set in the early 90s and with each subsequent track, progresses towards the present day. Special attention was paid to adhering to the duo’s original jazz fusion-inspired sound. The completed result, “A Journey Through the Anthropocene,” will be released in the Spring of 2025.
