Check out the new promo video from THEMpeople’s upcoming project SMOKE BREAKS set to release April 7 that serves as a depiction of the New Urban contemporary Mecca of music. Filmed by Michael Anthony and William Archetype and check out some words from THEMpeople below:
Over the past 2 years, Chicago’s music scene has gone through a revolution sonically and culturally. Newfound interest in genre fusion and collaboration in the art world has shown strong signs of a renaissance in the city. As history has shown, every renaissance has it’s cultural pocket or “home”, if you will, with untapped nouns being responsible for the creation of history in real time.
This visual is symbolic of some of the seeds we have planted in what is Chicago today and merely a taste of what the city is preparing to present to the world. Our forthcoming project SMOKE BREAKS IV is an audio time capsule of Chicago’s musicianship interpreted through our own sonic perspectives which we loosely refer to as Soul Fi or I.L.M (intelligent Lo-fi music).
