about

Laserbeams of Boredom, Basement Snacks
This Ypsilanti project builds jams from the bottom up. Craig Johnson lays down drum tracks and layers sounds over the top like a one-man This Heat, creating an experimental hip-hop dub hybrid that wouldn't sound out of place on the 99 Records label circa 1981. Johnson has been blasting Laserbeams of Boredom since 2006, but Basement Snacks is his first release in seven years. He limited himself to just drums, two-string bass, and some effects to create these nine tracks, but the overall effect is that of a full live band jamming out otherworldly sounds. Nope, it's just Craig.
