Suchmos -- MINT

 

Jeans are probably one of the toughest articles of clothing known to Man. They would have to be, considering they have to miraculously hold in my girth and they do...remarkably so. 😹 Arguably the most famous denim makers out there, Levi's, collaborated with the currently on-hiatus (?) band Suchmos back in 2016 through a music video.


From their 3rd EP released in July 2016, "Mint Condition", I show you "MINT", a groovy tune that escapes easy categorization which is never a bad thing in my books. There is the rock guitar, some Neo-City Pop and some mellow hip-hop. Vocalist YONCE and the gang do love their walks through the city, but I think that "MINT" can also make for some fine accompaniment while driving on the roads of the city at night. 

YONCE and DJ KCEE came up with the lyrics while the entire band worked on the music for "MINT" and the rest of the tracks on "Mint Condition". The EP managed to hit No. 14 on the charts. I wonder how everyone is doing now.
