Listen to the warped psyche of Pissed Jeans’ Sean McGuiness on his debut tape Ready To Be Rich

Sean McGuinness, known for his drum work with Pissed Jeans, Utensil and more, just put out his first solo tape EP, Ready To Be Rich. Being as unconventional as a record can get, the 17+ minute release (streaming as a single track, I might add) is split into 7 intertwined tunes, a Side A and Side B consisting of mostly instrumental sounds infused with otherworldly noises and aggressive punk vibes.

It’s loud and bracing, taking the idea of avant-garde and shoving it somewhere unholy. And that’s not a bad thing. A sense of ambience attunes you to different layers of instrumentation, jolting you into a whirlwind of every conceivable genre. Although a listen may throw you outside your musical comfort zone, you’ll come out with a larger and positively warped understanding of what music can be, proving that some music is meant to make you think a little.
