Get a load of "Last Resort," the final song on BLK ODYSSY's new album, 1-800 FANTASY, and one where he goes for broke. Therein, frontman Juwan Elcock toggles between a mind-bending array of genres — it's like moody alt-rock meets rubbery R&B meets vistas of negative space.
As it gains steam, he stutters, pants and screams. He meant the thudding kick drum to evoke a heartbeat; its guitar part, racing thoughts. "It's a climax to the album, and to the storyline," Elcock explains to GRAMMY.com. "This album was almost about method acting, really, because all of our records have a particular storyline and theme.
"I had to embody that character early in the recording process in order to really nail the tracks and make it feel believable," he continues. "Also, so that I believed it."
In his command of numberless genres, including hip-hop, jazz, and rock 'n' soul, as well as his tendency to go there emotionally, Elcock renders himself a human instrument. His namesake band fleshes out and breathes life into the arrangements — but as that "method actor," he's the locus.
1-800 FANTASY drops July 19; below, read on for a full interview with Elcock about how he crafted it, and much more.
