Album Review: Dybbuk Tse!
By: Yoni Mayraz
Album Details:
Genre: Jazz
Released: June 2, 2023
From The Artist: Yoni Mayraz states that the "Dybbuk, known from Jewish folklore, is a malevolent wandering spirit that enters and possesses the body of a living person. It’s a cursed soul of a dead one that wanders tirelessly for sins committed during their life. The most vulnerable victims are the young and the sinful. Possession can be taken literally or as an analogy to the burden that young people carry generations back, which they have no influence on, and which they have to accept. Dybbuk can only be removed by exorcism. The titular ‘Dybbuk Tse!’ is a command to remove the spirit from the possessed body. The album is a story about possession but also about exorcism through music."
Album Review:
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars [⭐⭐⭐⭐.5]
Favorite Track: As We Entered Jericho
Authors thoughts: Wow, wow, wow! What an album! Mayraz has a truly unique sound and artistic voice that comes through here beautifully. A fusion of jazz, 90's NYC hip-hop, and Middle Eastern music, this album harbors a vibe like no other and a rooted story within. These three genres are blended beautifully together through structure, rhythm, melody and star-striking solos from each member of the band. The solos flow from instrument to instrument perfectly and the group seems to be in that state of "musician communication harmony" together. In particular, I enjoyed the groovy and flowing bass lines which Eli Orr rips out on bass guitar with a nice, rich, but synth-like tone. Somewhat dark yet light at the same time, Mayraz delivers his usual style of production while simultaneously experimenting with tinges of murkiness and gloom, resulting in the aforementioned dark/light contrast. I, personally, could not help but get up and dance to some of the tracks on here. My only real critique here is that the titular track (Track 5: Dybbuk Tse!) falls kind of flat in comparison to the rest of the album and the opening vocal sample on it feels out-of-place. Finally, I think the album art is surreally beautiful and worthy of mentioning here because it is just so cool. Very much worthy of it's high rating, I would recommend this album to anyone interested in or looking to get into fusion/contemporary jazz.

Song of the Day!!! ✨
Today is Lupa J’s cover of Smalltown Boy originally by Bronski Beat, one of my favourite 80s songs. I found this one by seeing the artist breakdown their production process of another song on TikTok.
Smalltown Boy has always struck a cord in me I cannot describe, and Lupa J’s cover keeps the palatial sensations of the original but elevates it to something somehow more striking without losing that original feeling of awe.
SONG OF THE DAY
Day #5
Today’s choice is punk rock alternative banger I Got Heaven by American group Mannequin Pussy. The title track to their 2024 album, this one shoots out the gate running with take no prisoner lyrics barking about desire and feminism. The song using animalistic and religious symbolism moves from shouted and almost moaned sections to a softer chorus where vocalist Marisa Dabice describes herself as a message from grace itself. The sounds roll and shake through you with gritty drums and strings, and with lyrics such as “what if Jesus himself ate my fucking snatch” set against “I've got heaven inside of me… I'm an angel I was sent here to keep you company” this one grabs you and takes no prisoners. I fucking love it.
“I go and walk myself outside, a dog without a leash
Now l am growling at a stranger, I am biting at their knees”
P.S. Mysterious internet force if you like this one I also recommend Australian alternative/rock/grunge project Full Flower Moon Band, specifically their recent album Megaflower.
SONG OF THE DAY
Day #31
Today's song is ‘The Doll People’ by Australian Indie/Alternative artist Sofia Isella from her very recently released 2024 EP ‘I Can Be Your Mother’. Unsettling yet captivating, her sound has a similar quality to and takes inspiration from artists such as Billie Eilish, Nine Inch Nails, Caroline Polachek, Lorde, Imogen Heap, and Fiona Apple. The track is very dark exploring gender, sex, and identity with unflinching and purposefully crude lyrics. The track feels more like an avant-garde fable with its blend of conventional yet grand piano and strings with unconventional vocal work, such as her goosebump-raising runs, breaths, and clicking. At only 19 Sofia Isella commands your attention akin to a more established artist, so it's no wonder she was invited to perform as an opener for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour and is fastly emerging into the mainstream.
“To be admired takes precedence over admiring
To be desired takes precedence over desiring
Drink the dolls
Legs spread like butter
We are wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother”
Currently Listening to on Repeat
(aka song recs)
Hot take:
Strong for Somebody Else is just Surface Pressure for big boys/girls/nb pals-
Surface Pressure
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
Strong for Somebody Else
My personal hell
I'll bury it, bury it
Weight of the world
I'll carry it, carry it
Pile it all on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody
Put my pain in a pill
I'll swallow it, swallow it
Too numb to feel
I'm hollow, I'm hollow
I have to hold on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody
___
These aren't the full lyrics, obviously, but I had Strong for Somebody Else on repeat and my brain mush made a connection :)

Tell me you grew up Christian without telling me you grew up Christian…
On a completely random note, the theme song for a movie about vegetable superhero’s has NO right to slap this hard
I'm obsessing over this song! I only started listening to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard yesterday, but it's awesome!
