***This man is the master of reinvention. With more wardrobe changes than Madonna, and a more prolific output than humping rabbits, his is the return of the man of the hour, the critically acclaimed Moka Only. This follow-up to Desired Effect comes out of left field like Lance Bass at a baseball game. Making a clean break from his tenure with underground legends Swollen Members, the real talent behind the group shows us his skills behind the boards, as well as his mastering of layered harmonies and classic-era Moka verses. A work of incredible intricacy, The Station Agent is the soundscape for a kid watching the trains coming and going, waiting for his turn to run the big machines. Featuring live and sampled instruments, with all production done by Moka Only, this is a look at the artist behind the hit maker. This is Moka at his best. Rebounding with new fire, this is grown man music that brings you back to the best days of your life. Recalling a young Coltrane, Moka Only is a true musician, pushing hip-hop into the unexpected. |
