In Good Company. Three distinctly unique individuals fusing their respective styles together to produce a hybrid self-titled LP. Consisting of Syntax, Breach and Whisper, the dynamic trio are seasoned word-slingers with a partiality for wordplay, stunning punch lines and sonic storytelling.
Featuring an assortment of impressive vocal contributors including Eloquor, Mantra, Ginger Van Es, Boltz and Skyzoo (USA) and additional production highlights from heavyweights M-Phazes, Jase, J Smith & Dutch, and Joe Lewis, IGC’s dynamic fusion of mindsets and themes of exploration have surfaced with brilliance and retrospect.
‘All Part of the Plan (ft. Mantra)’ produced by Whisper, takes a cynical look at big business and political agenda, whilst ‘Peter Pan’ produced by J Smith and Dutch, is an ode to childhood indulgences.
‘The Wake’ produced by Whisper, tells of the risky allure and lack of sustainability surrounding the rock-star lifestyle by a hasty reality check. ‘Number One’ produced by M-Phazes, takes on a metaphoric exploration centering around three different interpretations.
The first single ‘The Road (ft. Ginger Van Es)’ also produced by Whisper, is an electronic bounce filled anthem paying homage to the trials and ills of manoeuvring through a sea of love and self doubt, set to a back drop of heavy rhythmic drums, and sweet harmonies from Melbournian songstress Ginger Van Es.
The album is an excellent example of complimentary skill, each member bringing his own set of teeth to the brawl. Whisper’s supreme production skills claiming the bulk of the album, his lyrical poignancy is resonant throughout. Syntax with his venomous wit and fondness for sci-fi references, concocts imagery of other-worldly possibility while Breach tells it how it is, his voice rich with stoic assurance and intelligence.
“We hope that after listening to the album people will feel like they know us a little better, we’ve put a lot of ourselves into it. We love what we do, and hopefully everyone else will too.”
Whisper
Dropping nationally October 7th 2011, the LP proceeds IGC’s 2010 mix-tape and string of live shows.
