1917 Soundtrack’s sound is lead vocalist, pianist, guitarist and chief songwriter Mario Mathon's idea of Sex, Drugs, Guns, Religion and Society in Neo-Soul, Smooth, and Indie-Electro Jazz layers. It could at once be a history lesson yet a party, obsession of high designer materialism yet a celebration of barefoot socialist utopian community, incense and herbal teas yet menthol cigerettes and malt liquor. The sonic story of urban America from the Harlem Renaissance to now as aesthetic ambiguity in the form of funk bass, intricately fuzzy, delta blues garage rock tones, instense drum-patterns soaked in mainstream Urban’s gloss. Infectious melody and radio-ready composition are things Guitarist/ drum programmer Jordan Mays studied music theory, classical guitar and audio engineering at the Art Institute of Atlanta as vocalist/pianst Mario Mathon, who signed to a local hip-hop soul development deal as a teenager, eventually selling an urban-radio ad jingle to McDonald’s through local 3rd party producers, while Mays, keyboardist producer Sean Birt and producer Larry Byrd look to take the next step up. They look to an ambitious 2015 as their first national tour takes shape. "Sexual Divinity" is available on CDBaby.com and iTunes. As their youtube subscribers grows by the hundreds off the back of their successful "Darling Nikki" Prince cover which now has over 100,000 views.
