The sound and sense of spontaneity has no universal signifier or succinct definition. The meeting of creatives and their respective instruments, art supplies, talents, and the like offers an unlimited amount of combinations that holds omnipotent powers to manifest new universes. Forget the corporate committee coded slovo and slang of synergistic groupthink, and reflect upon the dynamics of spontaneity between the energies of two inspired entities. These live currents connect in a buzz of ideas, interlocking exclamations, and all the dazzling light kernels as the result of collaborative collisions that explode the intersections where perpendicular visions meet.

Witness this and more on the brash and bubbling new single “Green Bottles” from the Bay Area’s own pop culture polymath Get Lost Cassidy Frost, and childhood friend Cyberclops—aka Ryan Shaw. Since their return to San Francisco, Cass has continued to work in elevating the artistic possibilities and outlets of home/apartment-spun tunes to new heights and levels of mindful consciousness. The latest shines a light on the way rustic minimalism can be an ethos for effective rhythmic structures, where the backbeats are beautifully entwined with equally kinetic deliveries.

“Green Bottles” feels like a mixtape deep cut throwback from the turn of the millennium. The kind of track one would discover around the midnight hour on KUSF in the summer of 2001. The harmonic bah-bah-dah-bah acapella scales are carefully carved into an elaborate mix of rhythm chorus riders and verse canvases that bubble and bop like a bar hop romp that takes you on a local community crawl between cherished haunts, and the welcoming homes of nearby friends. Cass lyrically walks through the reflective streams that step through the thoughts that permeate the background of the mind, whilst out and about on the town.

Cassidy Frost and Cyberclops rhyme in a vernacular that bounces between the jump of revelry and the gravity pull of realities. Like a lost Dan “The Automator” Nakamura production, an alternative late-90s radio cult oddity, or loosie from an early-mid 90s cult Oakland backpack crew; “Green Bottles” fizzes with flights of fancy that mixes up the psychological and visceral sensibilities. The ultra-afternoon chill skipping percussion sorts out the undercurrents of perceptions, and feelings amid the embrace of hedonistic abandon of Dionysian desires. “Bottles” bursts in a beat bouquet of wants, needs, where the carbonated hops flow forth in streams dedicated to those ancient (and unwritten) liturgies devoted to letting off some steam.

Cassidy Frost provided the following insights on the new single “Green Bottles”:

This song was written and recorded in one evening. It was my first time making music with my friend Ryan (Cyberclops), which is weird since we’ve been friends since middle school. He’s an amazing artist who has toured with heroes of mine, like Del The Funky Homosapien and Souls of Mischief.

Anyway, he brought over a laptop and a six pack of Heineken and we wrote this song on the spot as kind of a throw-away idea, but it came out weird and cool and kind of it's own thing. It’s a party anthem written by two people with miserable and extreme social anxiety.

Get Lost Cassidy Frost’s “Green Bottles” ft. Cyberclops is available now.

Catch the artist Sunday, May 24 at Bottom of the Hill in SF with Tragedy Andy, Omnigone, hosted by Tapper Dan.
