"DALI'S OCELOT" is a lean, cold reminder of what Gritty City Records has been quietly building out of Richmond, Virginia since their earliest releases. Skweeks' lyricism is unorthodox in the best sense — surrealist enough to feel genuinely distinctive, street-level enough to never float off into abstraction without purpose. John Canada's production has the percussive rawness the collective built its identity on, and Johnny Ciggs' mixing keeps everything grounded in that signature Gritty City grime. This is the lead into the full "CELTIC PRIDE" album, and based on the temperature here, the project has the bones.
