Cities Aviv - EVEN COLDER SPRING (2026) [Hi-Res]

Musician Wilbert Gavin Mays (Wilbert Gavin Mays), recording as Cities Aviv and African-American Sound Recordings, takes his experimental approach to a new level with the album "Even Colder Spring", released via the avant-garde label Black Truffle. Moving far beyond traditional hip-hop and rap conventions, Mays constructs a distinctive sound world at the intersection of psilocybin-infused dream sequences, chopped and screwed production, noise, and stream-of-consciousness vocals. The album's sonic landscape merges new age synths, blown-out rhythms, ambient interludes, lo-fi IDM, and shoegaze elements reminiscent of Seefeel, alongside motorik motifs echoing Cluster. Conceptually and visually inspired by outsider icon Jandek and his Corwood Industries label, the record highlights the project's uncompromising independence.
