For the ones that fly. Fak3 5miles embraces living in the moment.
AMM Aug. 20 2024
Fak3 5miles plays tonight at Far Out Lounge and Stage, with GOOD, Soma Jerome and Bicycle Boy.
Fak3 5miles‘ Ukiyo Lucid takes no prisoners. The 7-track release produced by Sam Hinds at Three Hound Sound is a thunderous blend of everything from rock to rap, soul to R&B, coming at you full-throttle from the self-proclaimed murderer of genres, with a melding of experimental and avant garde styles in a genre-defying blitz. It’s as though songwriter/vocalist Chance Hoops understands that life’s too short to be so narrow, so time for that lethal embrace of it all.
The title itself is an intentional connection of two words: The Japanese Ukiyo, “the floating world,” or living in the moment and detaching from life’s worries; and lucid – easy to comprehend, or also meaning luminous. For Hoops, it’s about living “free within your spirit. Let things come. Let things go.”
Take in the luminosity when Fak3 5miles plays tonight, Tuesday Aug. 20, at Far Out Lounge and Stage. Doors at 6 p.m., with sets by Austin rockers GOOD, San Marcos band Soma Jerome, and Bicyle Boy.
