sympL & Odd Pilot
“Take Me To Your Leader”
Official MP3 Audio
What ACTUALLY happened in Brazil on January 20th, 1996, is only truly known by those present at the event.
Pieces of facts support stories of one of the most fantastical reports of extraterrestrial contact in modern history – 2nd to the famed Roswell incident in 1947.
Extraterrestrials and sci-fi have long been themes in the vision and soundscapes of Maine-based producer, Odd Pilot.
In the 2-verse song “Take Me To Your Leader”, sympL re-tells the story from the perspective of an alien who’s been injured in a crash & recounts the origin of his species – as well as warns the police officer reported to have rescued the being.
“Take Me To Your Leader” explores theories of time & space travel – as well as addresses the very-real state of our own planet.
The first single from his new project, a follow up to his 2021 release ‘Cabin Fever‘, is narrated by veteran emcee and founder of Dropp Science, sympL.
The duo approach the subject in the storytelling tradition of Slick Rick – sympL weaving a mind-bending cautionary tale over an equally eerie backdrop of Odd Pilot’s layered synthesizers and neck-snapping drums.
Jason Famous Beats provides the accented scratches and Odd Pilot himself took to the mixing console to polish and master the single.
The whole project is brought together on the cover by visual artist, Vince Fontaine who designed the jacket for ‘Cabin Fever’ and whose album credits include works by Stu Bangas, Gorilla Twins, and more.
