Xylen Roberts-Essential Travel (Full Album; 2021)

by Avadhuta Records (Official Label For Xylen Roberts)

Essential Travel is one of two albums I am releasing last few days. Essential Travel is the more experimental of the two; ranging from the post-jazz punk prog of 'When It Rains It Swings' to the industrial avant-funk/hiphop of 'My God Machine' and 'Fag Checka' to the post-metal of 'The Devil's Design' and beyond. In spite of this, there are the occassional less experimental moments, such as the garage rocking 'The Sunken Land Of Atlantis' or the late 90s trip hop of 'Dependence Day'. Lyrically the album continues Xylen's trademark redpilled conscious songwriting as he tackles everything from the tyranny of vaccine passport IDs ('Sunken Land') to lampooning Facebook 'fact checkers' ('Fag Checka') and beyond.

The only way to hear it in full is to buy it from Gumroad: xylenroberts.gumroad.com/l/GTMpA
Visual Odysee exclusive video coming at some point

The other album I am releasing, A Shoo In For The Shut In Awards, is an overall more accessible exploration of indie art rock in a variety of eclectic forms (worldbeat, neo soul, folktronica, new wave, post rock, synth rock, etc.). You can check it out at the following addresses:

soundcloud.com/xylen-roberts/sets/a-shoo-in-for-the-shut-in

hearthis.at/avadhuta-records/se…ds-full-album-2021/

Tracklist:

1.) When It Rains It Swings
2.) My God Machine
3.) Fag Checka
4.) The Sunken Land OF Atlantis
5.) Forcing The End
6.) Cold As Ice
7.) Serpentine Fashion
8.) The Devil's Design
9.) Dependence Day
10.) Essential Travel

The songs 'Albino Nigger Cyborgs' and 'Tony Corona' were originally released on the album but I later found they didn't fit the overall vibe and consistency of the album and have removed them from HearThis/Soundcloud and from any future pressings of the album on tape or otherwise. The album is already incredibly long without them anyway. Currently the only place to hear them is in the full album upload on JoshWhoTV. They will also be removed from the purchasable album.

You can purchase both of these albums and many many more at my Gumroad and Bandcamp:
