Soap and the artist

(Soap x y/n)(civilian)...I think that's how it goes? I'm still learning fanfiction language 😅😅

Authors note: So this is my first fanfiction ever and I am honestly terrified of posting it but FUCK IT! I have seen various styles for fanfic writing but I was really bad in trying to copy that so I just went with what I was most comfortable with.

-Just a few little notes before you get started so you aren't completely lost. 1) Setting is wherever you would like. The 141 are in a foreign country to their own so have fun with it. (make one up if you want. I kept it vague so you could use your imagination although I am descriptive on the setting being a mountainous region) 2) Anything italicized means you're speaking in another language (again, have fun with it) 3) I hope my jumping between perspectives is alright? Again, this is my first fanfic and I'm still getting used to this writing style so please bear with me 😅 Enjoy 🥰

(P.S : No NSFW warning....for now. This will be a slow burn. Just alot of flirting and tension)

Word count: 2820

Chapter 1: Sunbeams

The late afternoon air was setting in with an unfamiliar peace that Johnny had not felt in some time. It had also been awhile since he smelt the air of a new base. Everything about this place smelled of new. New walls, new floors, new paint, new everything other than his team that now walked its halls. His team of the 141 had been assigned for the training of some soldiers in the province of some small country that never came onto his rader from how small and insignificant it was. He thought it a shame that he had never heard of such a place considering he had been all over the world at this point. He also thought it a shame because of how beautiful it was. Although he had only seen the military airport and the roads that lead to the base which didn’t lead to any city, town, or village; only some spread out farms, the land was lush and green and the climate cool for the season; which seemed to be spring. He did see the outline to town from a distance once he was on the base. Once he had unpacked what he needed, him, and Gaz decided to explore the new place together. Ghost locked himself in his room for some much needed sleep as he tended to be a bad sleeper on plane rides. “I think the hairs on my nostrils are vaporizing from the smell of new paint,” Gaz rubbed his nose.

“We’ve smelled our own funk and of others for so long that this is definitely a weird whiff for our noses,” Johnny laughed.

“Kinda smells like a fresh mopped shopping center doesn’t it?” Gaz chuckled.

“Yeah,” Johnny laughed back at the comparison.

The two friends found themselves on a balcony outside a small communal lounge area on the second floor. Underneath them was an open dirt field where some thirty young, newly appointed soldiers all lined up in rows and columns listening to their commanding officer give them some sort of speech. Majority were some pretty young lads. Looking at them made Johnny reminisce about his first few years in the military. He honestly wasn’t that much older than those boys down there but he wasn’t considered a “young adult” anymore and those years now seemed so far away with everything that he has seen and experienced.

From this balcony is where he could see the outline of the town that seemed to sit by the river that the base sat next to as well. The area that the base was on was where the river expanded itself into some small marsh lands covered by a variety of tall grass, small bush, and tree’s. Rising all around them were some majestic mountains that loomed over them from all angles. The familiar views of long expanded valley’s made him nostalgic for his homeland. It was rather uncanny how alike the landscape looked from the views he saw growing up.

“Why do you think Price accepted this assignment?” Johnny asked. “We’ve never been trainers or mentors before.

“Perhaps the world is finally at peace for once and the captain just wanted to keep us busy,” Gaz replied. “But knowing Laswell, this whole thing reeks of a deeper plot.”

“You think the captain and Laswell have another reason for us to be here?”

“Wouldn’t be surprised Soap. Would you?”

“Wouldn’t be the first time I was told one thing only to be saddled with another…and another,” he leaned against the railing, letting his elbows hold him up.

“The plot will eventually thicken. Just you wait,” Gaz positioned himself in the same way as well.

“Maybe we’re here for good reason?” Johnny wondered.

“Ready to be someone’s knight in shining armor Soap? Gaz released a small snort.

“More like someone’s dog. Ready to fetch the ball.” Johnny sighed.

“Come on Soap, normally Ghost is the pessimist.”

“Agh, you’re right. I think I’m just tired from the flight,” Johnny huffed.

“You still have some time to rest up. Price said we wouldn’t be properly introduced until tomorrow morning,” Gaz patted his friends back.

The two men started their route back to the barracks when they passed by the security office. Price was in there talking back and forth with an officer. Johnny and Gaz were able to catch what the conversation was about.

“Alright I’ll have someone check out the sensor,” Price began to walk out the door when he spotted two of own lingering outside.

“Everything alright Captain?” Gaz asked

“Security has just informed me that a motion sensor has been triggered,” he informed his boys about the alarm.

“Couldn’t it just be an animal?” Johnny reasoned.

“I thought that too but the sensor is designed to go off only when anything that weighs more than a hundred pounds passes by it. We should check it out either way. This place is new and it already has some heads turning our way,” the captain crossed his arms.

That was when Johnny knew Gaz was right about something more than training some new armed recruits was their purpose for being here. “We’re already up and dressed captain so we’ll go ahead and take a look at it,” Johnny looked to his crewmate.

“Gear up and go find out what it was then. It was the northmost sensor, number T110.” the captain let them know. “Leave in five minutes and give me a radio check when you reach it,” Price headed back towards his new office.

Geared up and armed the two soldiers headed towards the sensor. They were going in blind to this not only because they didn’t know what tripped the sensor but also they didn’t know the lay of the land just yet. They knew which direction of the base's perimeter was north but they came up to two others before coming up to the right one. It had a small light that was blinking red. It wasn’t hard to see that the place was disturbed…by a human. Clear footprints came from the fences direction and headed out towards the river. There was a clear path where the footprints were stamped on. Seemed to be a frequently used forest path to get to the river banks.

“Let’s see if our guest is still here?” Johnny followed the path while Gaz walked from behind. To get to the river it was a slight downhill in the land with small curves that avoided the tree’s.

“These are some small prints Soap. It’s not like there are hardy boots or anything,” Gaz took note of the pattern of the prints which looked more like sneakers.

“You’re right,” Johnny replied. “Maybe some local kids getting to their regular spot. We should be ready to not look intimidating if these are just local civilians,” Johnny began to speak quietly as they got near the riverbank.

“Copy that,” Gaz nodded.

The sounds of the flowing water started to get louder and louder as they tracked the footprints. A giant boulder crushed between two large trees blocked their sight of the river which was now in view. They could hear some shuffling going around the other side of the large chunk of rock. The two men put their backs and eyed one another in silence, giving each other hand signals on how they were going to approach this. Just as they were about to creep to the other side, the sudden bark of a dog that jumped in front of them made the two men flinch.

“Shit,” Johnny cursed.

“Who’s behind there!”

Johnny’s mind did a mental gasp at the sound of a woman’s voice. It was speaking in the native tongue of course.

“Oli, get back here!”

“Recall your dog miss! Gaz shouted. “We’re from the base!” The woman’s voice shouted for her dog once more and the medium sized mutt retreated back to its owner in a huff.

“We’re going to walk out! Don’t move an inch!” Johnny commanded; although he didn’t know if the person could understand him in the first place. It was a hunch at the very least since the dog did back up once its name was called when Gaz told the mystery intruder to do so.

“You can come out now,” The voice spoke in English this time with a slight accent.

Soap nodded his head forward for Gaz to follow him around the boulder. With their guns up they slowly crept into the view of the stranger standing within the shallows of the river. With your overalls rolled up to your knees and the sun rays that peeked through the tree’s which created a gold halo around your silhouette, Johnny was left speechless at the sight of you.

“I’m not armed…unless you count this small stone,” you held up her arms decorated in an array of beaded bracelets while holding the stone you warned them about.

“What’s in the bag?” Johnny pointed out the stuffed canvas messenger bag on the ground.

“Paint supplies,” you replied.

Johnny approached the bag, lifted its flap, then revealed the said paint supplies. He rummaged around just in case. You did not like that as she yelled at him to keep his hands out of it.

“You do know you are trespassing here, miss?” Gaz questioned you.

“Yeah well up until eight months ago this place was open to everyone,” you had an angry tone to your voice. The stare of annoyance in your eyes gave Johnny a slight shiver up his spine.

He didn’t have to be so aggressive in looking through your things. Damn those pretty blue eyes that looked up at you as your hands were up in the air so as to not provoke them. They were holding some pretty big guns at you and your dog. Luckily your furry companion was behaving for once and listening to your command of staying still, but they were ready to pounce at any time now.

“Please don’t hurt my dog,” you said to the soldiers.

“What’s his name?” The soldier with the silly mohawk asked you.

“Oli,” you responded. “He’s just cautious but he’s nice if you approach him slowly…and not sneak from behind,” you said the last part in a scoff. The mohawk guy noticed and smiled a crooked grin your way. Damn he’s cute, you bit your tongue. The soldier carefully extended his hand to your dog with some soft words of encouragement to smell him.

“Oli, safe,” you said to your dog. Oli yapped a happy bark and jumped onto the soldier’s chest with an unstoppable wagging tail which made their bottom wiggle back and forth.

“Oh what a good dog you are,” the mohawk guy said in the usual “happy that a dog is happy” kind of voice.

The other soldier with the baseball cap also crouched down to pet Oli with a smile. It put you at ease that Oli was calm and happy with them around. “Can I put my hands down now?” you asked.

“Yes, miss,” the baseball-capped soldier said.

With your arms now resting you headed back to the riverbank. On the sand of the bank you unloaded your pockets of different stones. “That’s all I have, I swear.”

“Even though you’re not an armed threat you still haven’t answered what you’re doing here,” mohawk guy questioned you.

“You know normally introducing yourself with your name is the polite thing to do. Or do they not do that sort of thing anymore around the world,” you jested.

“You’re the one on our side of the fence so why don’t you start with introductions. What’s your name miss?”

Dick. Why did he have to be a cute dick. “I’m (Y/N) , I live in the town that overlooks that ugly thing,” you pointed at the gray blocks that made up the military base.

“I take it you’re not a fan of your new neighbors?” Mohawk asked.

“It would’ve been nice to not have it block my spot. Maybe if you built it not here then I wouldn’t mind it so much. I think it would look great in the mountains…on the other side,” you jested again.

"Your spot?” Mohawk asked.

“Yes my spot, Mohawk! I’ve been coming here since I could walk and that damn fence isn’t going to stop me!”

Those cute angry eyes were definitely going to be the death of him. Calm yourself Johnny. A pair of batting lashes shouldn’t put your defenses down. But oh how he wanted to.

“Oh, you already gave me a nickname?”

“Well it’s not like YOU introduced yourself or your friend Baseball Cap over here,” you put your hands on your hips.

“I’m Sergeant MacTavish and this is Sergeant Garrick,” he finally introduced himself.

“Well Sergeant, if you’ll excuse me I have some business to attend to before I lose the light,” you approached your bag. Taking out your collapsible easel, you unclipped it and tried to position it in the right direction.

“No miss you cannot make camp here,” MacTavish was about to reach for your easel when you swatted at his hand with a loud smack. “Hey!” he yapped. You could hear his friend smile with a chuckle.

“I’m not setting up camp. Don’t you know an easel when you see it, soldier? I’m going to paint. Now if you will, I would appreciate some silence,” you only continued doing your usual set up.

Johnny wasn’t about to deny that he was both surprised and slightly turned on from the hand smack you placed on the back of his hand. Not too often does he meet many people with such fearlessness. Your determination was admirable but he had a job to do and you weren’t supposed to be here. He backed away from you and came up to Gaz with a whisper.

“So how do you want to play this?” Gaz asked.

“Well she’s not a threat but she can’t be here,” Johnny pointed out. Peering over his shoulder he saw how you carefully set up her easel which transformed into a mini table on the side and took several other tools out. A jar of water, a pouch full of paint brushes, and a small palette with some nice looking paints. Looking at the tools brought the soldier back to his elementary art classroom. It used to be his favorite subject. His art teacher was the only one who cared about his doodles and scribbles. She would even hang her favorite ones on the wall. Nostalgia from a better time in his life flooded his mind. He felt bad having to move someone like you who just wanted her creative space back. With a huff and grunt he turned to Gaz. “You go Gaz, I’ll stay behind and wait for her to finish. It’s almost dark anyways,” Johnny sighed.

“You’re going to let her stay?” Gaz asked.

“Yeah, just head back. I’ll radio Price in a sec to let him know.”

“It’s your head Soap,” Gaz snickered.

“I know,” Johnny huffed.

“Have a goodnight miss,” Gaz said his goodbyes. “Goodnight Oli,” he patted your dog one last time before heading back and disappearing behind the tree’s.

“So you’re going to babysit me?” You jeered.

“I’m no monster to disturb a creative mind. Plus, I don’t feel right leaving a damsel in the middle of nowhere when it’ll be getting dark soon,” Mohawk got himself comfortable on a stone.

“How noble of you, Mohawk,” you huffed at the man. “Suit yourself,” you hunched your shoulders. Unbothered by the results. As long as you got to paint, all was good. Though, you wish you didn’t have to have a huge burly, mohawked, military dude breath down your neck. Cute for sure, but annoying nonetheless.

As much as Johnny tried to admire the serenity of the location, which had much to look at in nature, he couldn’t help looking at you. You were barefoot with your toes curled in the sand. Your back stood as straight as an oak. Your gaze aimed for the tree’s to the south of the riverbank. A landscape that was now disturbed by what you described as “those ugly things” which still left a laugh in Johnny’s chest. Your focus is what he couldn’t stop looking at the most. Christ was it mesmerizing to see how your eyes pierced through the landscape in trying to capture your little painting. You began to quickly work on what he could only describe as the best bloody sunset landscape he had ever seen. The soft pinks and purples were so similar to the real thing.

“Y-you’re really talented,” he was finally able to get a compliment out of his mouth.

In an elegant turn of your head the military man was captured by your stare. He gulped at your glare. “Thank you,” you smiled.

🎵🌟🔫 the blue (original?) captain

original captain beloved

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

The music Capt listens to is actually whatever playlists were set up by Grapevine, his communications officer, which consisted mostly of jazz funk. The Captain himself is associated with both songs Ship in a Bottle and Mi Capitán representing both himself and himself as part of November respectively.

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

The Captain is pretty much always looking at the night sky as the space adventurer he is. It represented freedom and wonder. And he's always willing to share it with his crew, but he mostly used to stargaze with his wife. He hasn't and cannot find someone else to fill that specific role beside him again.

🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? how easily will they turn their back to someone? have they been backstabbed before? will they betray someone if given an ultimatum?

He doesn't trust blindly trust people as much as he believes in giving people chances. And that doesn't require letting the person stick around if it comes down to it, if it endangers his crew. And as someone that's worked with ferrying Imposters before, yes, he's had his fair share of backstabbing from those trying to take advantage of his charity. Things are handled, and he continues. He technically goes against Mira all the time because of this. He's the type to stubbornly try and find a different solution entirely to the trolley problem.

#btw sorry i keep messing up present and past tense. many characters have died but we still write events from during their time alive too #as for an actual captain playlist? he's actually one of the few who doesnt have one yet. buster come on man :/#talk to me tag #Anonymous #ask meme #modleyverse #the captain #this is my oc tag #modley interrogation

ALIAS / NAME: Captain! I used to be called Honey, Lovely, and Nyx in the past, though that was LONG before Tumblr. Twas my amino days, baby. ( I also semi-recently tried out 'King' but the vibes don't quite fit yknow! prefer the vibe of that as a term of referral - ex: my liege - rather than a name weirdly enough BHGKTRB )

BIRTHDAY: july 7th!

ZODIAC: cancer! i forgot my exact stuff, like rising sign or the like, but i do know that! i got into zodiacs when i was like 13 i think so I know at least MY sign by heart lol

HEIGHT: 5'6! something like that, I think :] which is also 167 centimeters

HOBBIES: drawing, writing ( I have an ao3 I've been neglecting for so long ), dungeons & dragons / general ttrpgs which take up SO much of my week <3, video games, content analysis ( kinda? ), baking, penpal, learning ukulele, learning to sew, learning crochet!

FAV. COLOR: im terrible when it comes to this question because i love a lot of very specific colors because artist brain BUT... If I had to pick one. Probably a red-y brown-y color. I REALLY like warm and neutral colors ( though Quillheel's pallet probably wouldn't invoke that thought ) though i also like a lot of neutral and cooler colors. you can basically reference a rainbow for my preferred colors but even with blue at the bottom ( I'm a big purple-enjoyer ) i still enjoy what good usage of it can do <3

FAV. BOOK: the long walk by stephen king, inkheart by cornelia funke, or frankenstein by mary shelley <3 love different aspects of all of them, though inkheart was a big part of my childhood so i'm biased BHHGTR

LAST SONG: be nice to me by the front bottoms :] i've been listening to a lot of Hozier lately though

LAST MOVIE / SHOW: UHHH wolfwalkers! VERY good i really liked it <3 i wanna rewatch song of the sea eventually, too! that ones also a favorite. the last show would probably be season 3 of infinity train ( I still resist the temptation to add Simon sometimes. he is such a terrible yet interesting little man ) or finally finishing watching hisuian snow :]

RECENT READ: if fanfiction doesnt count ( if it Does then wander boy by poptod, which is surprising its not one of the HUGE amounts of disco elysium fanfiction i've been chewing on lately ) then probably i think frankenstein by mary shelley, which i picked up and began reading but didn't finish :( still the most recent though! I wanna actually finish that + reread the long walk + read a bunch of other books, like the song of achilles by madeline miller, circe by madeline miller, orange world and other stories by karen russle, memorial: a version of homers illiad by alice oswald, the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson, good omens by neil gaiman and terry pratchett, the city & the city by china mieville, etc etc etc! ( if you guys have any suggestions actually, feel free to send em my way! )

INSPIRATION: horror! especially slashers, psychological horror, and 'bloodbath' horror ( selectively! carrie's got the vibes, saw does NOT ), psychological writing in general, a bunch of the books i have or plan on reading, mythology & legends, fanfiction and composition, music ( especially the weakerthans, the narcissist cookbook, hozier, etc ), poetry, and just!! learning methods of how things Generally are made, ig! how people paint, how people make clothes and make fabric, how people grow plants. i take a lot of inspiration from unexpected places, but a lot of those places are the act of creation in of itself. my writing might only be writing, but i try to embody a sense of color to it, of an artstyle you can almost taste, yknow? the composition in shows where blues look almost green and its like the world is basked in paint and there's just a feeling, indescribable, contextual but potent in of itself, the feeling of small moments everywhere, all at once, all the time. THAT SOUNDS REALLY PRETENTIOUS BUT LIKE... its true, yknow!! i like to embody a feeling in my writing, and i go to a lot of places to find it.

STORY BEHIND URL: once, a long time ago, my oc multimuse @cassiopiia was named orphic-ruin, and quillheel came second in my blogs list. i wanted them to match! so i thought of storytelling, which went to writing, then to pens, then to quills! and the 'heel' part comes from achilles heel, or the achilles tendon! as well as having ties to hermes' winged feet. in a way, its kinda saying 'vulnerable storyteller' or 'half-divine legend' or even kinda like a title or epithet vibe wise like you might find on a mythological figure ( ex: quill-heeled ) or something like that, which i think still fits the vibe p well to this day! if i did change the URL, idk what I'd make it now! i might eventually, but yeah!

tagged: @disassnbler ty ender!!!! <333

tagging: uhhhhhhhhhhhhh @littlelonesomestars @slaughterlocked @underworldslibrary @rebellionhearted aaaand anyone wearing blue, green or red <3

“Nina Hagen’s 1982 album NunSexMonkRock is one of the single most ground-breaking and far-out things ever recorded and it deserves to be considered a great - perhaps the very greatest - unsung masterpiece of the post-punk era. I’ll take it even further: To my mind, it’s on the same level as PiL’s Metal Box, Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica or Brian Eno and David Byrne’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Or The Dreaming by Kate Bush. There I’ve said it … NunSexMonkRock could have been recorded 40 years ago, yesterday, or a thousand years from now and it just wouldn’t matter.” / From Dangerous Minds website /

Unleashed on this day forty-two years ago (12 June 1982): berserk German punk diva Nina Hagen’s debut solo album and definitive artistic achievement, futuristic post-punk masterpiece NunSexMonkRock – hailed by a Rolling Stone reviewer as the "most unlistenable" record ever made. Au contraire! Hagen’s confrontational Linda Blair-in-The Exorcist-style vocals and crackpot flights of fancy are (mostly) grounded in experimental but tough and danceable New Wave rock. Opener “AntiWorld” invents an operatic / Biblical / gypsy punk hybrid. “Smack Jack” – her spooky anti-heroin diatribe – nails a sense of junkie panic. "Iki Maska" is anchored to the same Henry Mancini / Peter Gunn guitar riff as “Planet Claire” by the B-52’s. The irresistible “Born in Xixax” bristles with paranoid conspiracy theories predicting World War III but vows, ““One day we will be free!” Best of all, the extraterrestrial “Cosma Shiva” marries blaxploitation funk bass with samples of the gurgles and squeals of Hagen’s baby daughter, and concludes with Hagen declaring, “And my little baby, I tell you—God is your father.” Hagen would go on to make two more fun, interesting records (Fearless (1983) - her foray into disco - and the heavy metal-leaning In Ekstasy (1985)), then seemingly run out of inspiration (which unfortunately didn’t stop her from continuing to record). Over four decades later, NunSexMonkRock still sounds like bleeding-edge science fiction.

Album Info & Credit -

Artist Name: Captain Funk Album Title: Captain Funk “Sunshine (Deluxe Edition)” Release Date: December 8, 2023 Format: Digital (No physical release) Product No: MECF-1023 UPC Code: 198026307729 Label: Model Electronic Records All tracks produced by Tatsuya Oe

Album Description (Message from Tatsuya)

To produce these 'Deluxe Edition' releases, I returned to the original Pro Tools data and scrutinized the hundreds of tracks per song. Anything deemed necessary was re-recorded using old and new equipment, and all audio processing, including compression and equalizing, was thoroughly reevaluated.

The top priority for releasing these new mix versions was to 'update' them musically so that listeners could enjoy them with their current sensibilities. Simultaneously, considering the significant changes in music distribution since the original releases in late 2000, we aimed to provide high-quality audio suitable for today's streaming and listening environment.

While we've worked to achieve a clearer and more refined sound through mixing and mastering, we've also been careful to preserve the power and momentum of the original audio source. This balance ensures that our 'Deluxe Editions' will be a familiar yet enhanced listening experience for everyone.

Casey Frensz presents Captain Queso and the Intergalactic Battle of the Bands.

Multi-talented artist Casey Frensz has released an album titled Captain Queso and the Intergalactic Battle of the Bands. This innovative project blends a variety of musical styles into a cohesive rock opera, demonstrating Frensz's versatility and creativity as a musician.

However, this is more than just a concept album. It's a whole new musical world, as the artist truly managed to meticulously craft characters, a story, and a whole universe to bring this release to life as something that is greater than the sum of the parts.

Frensz, the mastermind behind the album, wrote, played, recorded, mixed, and mastered nearly every element. His wide-ranging musical talents and ability to blend different influences into something truly original is the main idea of the album. It's like taking The Beatles' 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band' to a whole new level. This release features not one, but five imagined bands, each representing a distinct musical style, as they compete in an epic 'Intergalactic Battle of the Bands.'

The character of Captain Queso offers a lively funk sound reminiscent of the likes of Parliament/Funkadelic, while Divatronic introduces an electro-dance pop vibe with prominent synthesizers. Old Dusty contributes a more intimate country/folk sound, while Riffrat delivers hard rock vibes and punch. Last but not least, Ga Na Na adds tribal elements to the mix, bringing a very unexpected dimension to the album. The overarching presence of the "Intergalactic Overlord" ties the narrative together with grand, orchestral arrangements, making the album feel very ambitious. Although incredibly diverse, the music is bound together very seamlessly, especially due to the overarching concept and the narrative behind this release.

Frensz also expanded the sonic palette of this release by enlisting a few collaborators. This enabled him to bring additional voices and rhythms to the album. The featured vocalists include Andrew Groble, Rick Kieffer, and Sharisse Germain, who each lend their vocals to the project, adding depth and diversity to the musical storytelling. Additionally, the sixth song on the album features drummer Matthew Mwangi, whose percussion work adds a dynamic layer to the album's complex mosaic of sounds. It's absolutely remarkable to think that Frensz curated most of the technical aspects of this release as well. Not only did he practically write and record the whole thing, but it also mixed and mastered the album. With so many different pieces of the puzzle falling into place, this is a very demanding project, which would be challenging even for the most demanding engineers. However, the artist managed to create a very professional and beautifully dynamic sound.

The progressive nature of the album enabled Frensz to embrace a retro aesthetic with more organic sounds, even when it comes to the tracks with more prominent electronics within. The analog flavor of the mix comes through (it doesn't really matter whether it was mixed on a computer or with outboard gear; the style has that much sought-after analog touch either way, which makes the listening experience all the more enjoyable and unique.) The song "In The Middle" is a perfect example of this. The track has a truly unique vibe. If you can picture Daft Punk building a time machine so they could travel back in time and jam with Pink Floyd, this is very close to what it might sound like! The dream-like quality of the vocoder layers and the floaty tempo make the song one of the most outstanding moments on the release. However, there is room for so much more. "Momentum," with Matthew Mwangi on drums, showcases the album's hardest-hitting edge. The sound is reminiscent of rockers such as Eagles Of Death Metal or The Hives, with overdriven guitars and huge riffs.

With influences ranging from Frank Zappa and Phish to The Who and The Beatles, Captain Queso and the Intergalactic Battle of the Bands is a genre-defying journey that pays homage to a wide array of musical traditions. Frensz's ability to seamlessly integrate these different styles into a single narrative is a testament to his skill as a musician and producer.

This album is likely to appeal to fans of rock operas and those who appreciate music that pushes the boundaries of genre and form.

Listen to the album and support the artist directly via Bandcamp.
