While new member Graham Ulicny was on tour with The Faint, the rest of the band-Farzin, Lucero, guitarist Jac Aranda, and drummer Bryson Mounts-holed up in the studio, where they lived and wrote half of the record. The album was recorded in Omaha over three hectic weeks in August 2019. Crucially, itвЂ™s also the first Media Jeweler record to make its point plainly while previous albums were largely instrumental, FarzinвЂ™s lyrics articulate the intermixed confusion, frustration, and joy that comes with living a conscious life-ideas that have always been in the music, but largely went unsaid. Coming three years after the bandвЂ™s second album, 1-800-SUCCEED, The Sublime Sculpture of Being Alive is the fullest realization yet of Media JewelerвЂ™s unorthodox sound, the seeds they planted upon their founding in Orange County in 2013 come to fruit. HeвЂ™s talking about the thematic scope of his bandвЂ™s new album The Sublime Sculpture of Being Alive, which is out August 13th on Fire Talk Records, but he may as well be talking about how Media Jeweler has managed to hone their knotty, rhythmic, and ultimately jubilant music into something strong enough to carry real emotional weight-to do justice to what it feels like to live in the world Benjamin describes. Or, as bassist Thom Lucero puts it, we can forge вЂњan acceptance of self and an acceptance of all the fucked-up shit weвЂ™re around all the time.вЂќ

But consider its inverse: If thereвЂ™s no escaping this influence, weвЂ™re free to come to terms with it, and to locate ourselves within it. ItвЂ™s a claustrophobic thought, suggesting as it does that we might not be as in control of who we are as we believe ourselves to be. In his classic 1935 essay вЂњArt in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,вЂќ the German critic observed that our understanding of our lives and our experience of reality is moderated by the dominant technologies, politics, events, and advertising messages of our day we cannot see our way around them. Album DescriptionBehind the clatter and clang of his band, behind the inexhaustible roll of melodies, behind the rhythms that seem to occupy three-dimensional space, Walter Benjamin lurks in the head of Media JewelerвЂ™s Sam Farzin.

The low moments don't arrive that often - by and large, the album is quite engaging - but they happen frequently enough to make the record a demonstration of the band's blossoming ability, but not the fulfillment of their full potential.

Sublime sags when the band delves too deeply into their dub aspirations or when their lyrics slide into smirking humor.

Switching between bracing hardcore and slow, sexy reggae numbers, Sublime display supple, muscular versatility and, on occasion, a gift for ingratiatingly catchy hooks, as on the hit single 'What I Got.' What they don't have is the vision - either lyrical or musical - to maintain interest throughout the course of the entire album. Even so, the trio does have a surprising grace in its unabashedly traditionalist fusion of Californian hardcore punk, light hip-hop, and reggae. As a show of sympathy, the album tended to be slightly overrated in some critical quarters, who claimed that Nowell was an exceptionally gifted lyricist and musical hybridist, but Sublime doesn't quite support those claims. Sublime's eponymous major-label debut arrived a few months after the band's leader, Brad Nowell, died tragically of a heroin overdose.
