Our Take

Makaya McCraven's latest album, "Deciphering The Message," is a wild ride through the world of jazz and beyond. The Chicago-based drummer and producer has once again proven why he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you know you're in for something special. McCraven's unique blend of live instrumentation and electronic production creates a sound that is both familiar and completely fresh at the same time. It's like he's taken all of the best parts of jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music and mashed them together into a beautiful, chaotic mess.

The album is full of surprises, with unexpected twists and turns around every corner. Just when you think you have McCraven figured out, he throws in a curveball that leaves you scratching your head in the best possible way. It's this sense of unpredictability that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Tracks like "Ox Tales" and "Drums&Bruk&FeelTheVibe" showcase McCraven's incredible talent as a musician and producer. His drumming is tight and precise, yet full of energy and emotion. And his production skills are top-notch, with each track sounding as crisp and polished as you could hope for.

Overall, "Deciphering The Message" is a triumph for Makaya McCraven. It's a bold and adventurous album that pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be. If you're a fan of music that is exciting, innovative, and just a little bit off-kilter, then this is the album for you. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
