Media Consumes Me

Many of you may still not be aware, for one reason or another, of the “Nevermen“. And, I can forgive this, as they have not yet purchased a ticket for the Hype-Train yet. But expect that to change soon…

Nevermen is a collaboration of Doseone (Subtle, Themselves, cLOUDDEAD, etc etc), Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio), and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk, and probably a dozen more). While the Nevermen is mostly about these three frontmen, The Chapman Brothers, have been asked to help glue it all together.

Excited?

Well don’t get too worked up yet, as this DoseOne/Pitchfork interview reveals, we are still months away from hearing any of it yet. “We’re going to make and finish the record. It may be out this winter, but I am reserving the right to change that…One of the things that I’ve really learned and really want to bring to this group is that there’s no rushing the music. I won’t have it anymore, ever again.”

Fine. As long as it lives up to the potential, I’ll survive the wait. And Doseone sells it like it will:

“We’ve taken our time and had all these amazing sessions together, and I think that it’s stuck. It’s really growing in a certain way that’s completely unique. It sounds like a band’s first record, but also sounds like three rock stars together at last…I’m trying to have it so it’s like the whole record is a three-headed dragon. There’s no, like, Mike Patton song with me and Tunde beatboxing, you know what I mean?”

If that’s not enough to make you explode, did I mention that they will also be collaborating with Alan Moore? Yes, that Alan Moore. Seriously, check out the interview.
