77AD FASHION by 77AD FASHION
Assembled from found materials: GarageBand’s stock sounds, a laptop keyboard, and the voice of James Baldwin — whose 1963 speech The Struggle for Integrity has been a consistent source of inspiration over the past three years.
No outside gear. No custom sounds. Just months of listening, assembling, discarding — 37 abandoned drafts to find these four tracks.
—
77AD FASHION was first seen printed on the side of a white utility van parked in Brooklyn, NY.
In keeping with the album’s ethos — assembling significance from found, unaltered material — it was adopted as the title for this solo project.
