Good morning rafters! Yesterday, Tigran MiMoSA announced the release of his newest creation “Sanctuary” an epic twelve track album packed with mellow, purple-dub vibes & chilled out MiMoSA synths+sirens. His music is also very instrumentally creative+unique, really organic and hip-hop influenced, MiMoSA has always been a personal favorite and if you haven’t seen him live –
it’s time you check him out because of the raw + intense energy he brings to the stage!
Here is the full MiMoSA stream of his new album Sanctuary. Hit the jump for a preview of a recent interview with Tigran, by the Denver blog Westword. The interview covers his inspiration for the release, personal favorites on the album, and more.
“Sanctuary has a lot of hip-hop samples and influence, different than 58 Degrees and more like Flux for Life. What brought you back around to the hip-hop? (westword.com)
Tigran: I wanted to work on something different. When I was working in the studio before, it was going to be an all-808-beats album that was totally hip-hop influenced. Then I started making these other tracks, because when you make too much of one thing it gets boring, and I get tired of working on the same thing. I made these tunes on the side. Things really came together on this album, and I ended with twelve tracks. I’m just trying to keep it diverse. I did a lot of things on this album that a lot of people didn’t expect from me.
Do you have any personal favorites on the album? (westword.com)
Tigran: “I don’t. I like all the tracks. I was most stoked about “Ice Box,” because it kind of captured the feeling of where I was at the time. I made most of it while living in Brookyln, New York. It just really shows the period of where I was at at the time.”
