“In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole” Lot of that going on in that fake room.

The chemistry between Dijon and Mk.gee is what makes this so special. The way they interact and play off of each other is just incredible to watch.

I am on at least my 50th watch/listen of this in a week. I think this is maybe the greatest film/evidence as to why people need to be in a room to truly create something magnificent. Plenty of music is made alone these days and it is great, but there is something undeniable about being in the same room as other musicians creating. This is beyond belief. Can’t imagine what it would be like to be in the room.

This is like Bright Eyes, d’angelo, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Springsteen with a dash of Wilco all rolled into one unique and amazing artist. It comes at just the right time and is completely moving. Kids take note…the emotion and creativity that occurs in a room with people is mesmerizing. I think many of us that play music can relate to the feeling this video conveys with your voice blown out, your fingers hurting and the fog of too many beers as the clock pushes towards 3am with your buds…but god damn I don’t think many of us have sounded this tight it that chaos.

I KNOW IT SMELLS CRAZY IN THERE

Favorite drop of 2021, easily. ‘Absolutely’ resists the urge to neatly detail complex situations and instead makes an active decision to ooze, and at times explode, with organic expression. I haven’t been this excited about music in a long time - thank you, Dijon!

One of the greatest works of art we’ll experience in our lifetime.

So special we get to drop in on this whenever we want. What a gift... when Dijon and Mk.gee are the biggest artists in indie music, this shit is going to one of the most precious artifacts in music.

it's an addiction at this point i really just can't stop watching this

watching dijon and mk.gee ping pong off each other and match energies will never get old

sad that The Dress wasn’t included in this but watching the part for Rodeo Clown had me nearly in tears. i think both of those song specifically resonate with me because it’s how i used to feel for the longest time. someone who didn’t want me like i wanted them and the aftermath of being “just friends” really tore me apart for a while. luckily im no longer experiencing this but to me, those songs helped me with fully closing that chapter of my life. the emotions this album in general put me through was something i’ve only felt maybe 2 other times. so thank you Dijon, i can’t wait to see you be as big as frank one day

what are the two songs that made you feel something like this

Scratching's ending went crazy and I did not expect that but I loved it!!

i grew up in a house full of musicians i love this so much just like being a kid watching all the interesting people make sweet sounds together. so much love for dijon and mk.gee for making real soulful music.

This feels like my generation's D'Angelo Meets Frank Ocean. Mark my words, this man is going to be great. I'm staking claim to it now.

This will be a classic, for sure.

This is wild because he manages to both sound like Bon Iver and Frank Ocean at the same time but maybe those are unfair comparisons because in the end he simply, and most importantly, sounds like himself. This is so great.

after watching this 100 times, i just now realized the songs get drunker as the video progresses. Pretty cool

Isn’t that one of the more obvious things happening here?

This video parades as a drunken jam sesh to the superficial gaze, yet is an expression to the depths of emotion and agony of both loss and hope. I feel like my freakin' soul was torn out and shaken. Every fiber of my being is tingling. The artistry, vocals, visages, instruments, unassuming style -- all of it blended so beautifully. It's a chaotic, raw, artful experience. I'm very thankful. (honorable mentions to the Ginuwine and Vanessa Carlton riffs, the Totoro shirt, and the scene of Dijon stumbling outside - I can just imagine how crisp that air must have felt & reminded me of my time living in WA)

I was obsessed with this video a few months ago. Got me through so many turmoils. Back here now and still one of my favorite productions ever. Incredible.

I’ve watched this probably 10 times. A actual masterpiece dijon has made. Pure art.

I’ve loved Mk.gee and Dijon for a while and I’m now discovering this video with both of them in it for the first time 😭

A true work of raw and honest work. Something so sincere and amazing about a warmly lit room with little room, filled with instruments and musicians. Bouncing off each other, fireworks of noise and art being created in this cramped room, and for us to witness such work is “ABSOLUTELY” a privilege. The bursts of noise, the off keys, the rawness in Dijon’s voice, Dijon’s ability to engage with everyone in the room, everything about this is perfect. Sad to hear this won’t be on the internet for very long. It makes art what it is, a fleeting joy we appreciate and gaze at while it’s present. Thank you to Dijon and everyone who made this film possible. Album of the year…

Organic AF!!!!!!!!! nothing better than creating real-time. everyone finds that pocket and start vibing...............so dang beautiful. no true lyrics even really needed on Big Mike's

Had the incredible opportunity to meet him in a bar in Portland before his show. He was so humble about his success thus far. He bought my girlfriend a drink and was on his way. Good dude.

The trance that he gets into him in this session its totally stunning, he's feeling every song as he never does, and give us that feeling as well.

To Dijon: I doubt you’ll ever read this, but thank you. Thank you for making my favorite album of the year. Thank you for making one of my favorite albums ever. It will forever be cemented in my top 5. Thank you for telling your story, and being so vulnerable in the film. I feel for you. Especially in the Rodeo Clown scene. I’ve only watched this through once so my thoughts haven’t fully be collected, but I appreciate your willingness to share your story with the world and consider myself lucky to have witnessed your art.

Still can’t let go of this video series. These songs and visuals hauntingly stay with me up to this day. Dijon & MK.Gee need a tiny desk asap!

i come back to this every couple of months to remember what genuine sounds of joy and hurt feel like

are there people like me who want to comment, but then also just enjoy reading? and seeing that world has this postive side too, where people are actually nice and so kind.

i’ve listened to this front to back at least 200 times in the past month

big mike's will be my wedding song some day, I swear on it.

I go back to this album so often because it conveys so many emotions so well. It feels raw, and sometimes I really need these songs to connect with how I feel. I am so glad that Dijon exists.

that is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.

What an amazing film. The music, the emotion, the songwriting, the voice... And a shoutout to Mike Gordon for his brilliant guitar playing and the way he backs up Dijon with his vocals and energy.

watching this while dealing with depression and a breakup. i don't know how to put into words what i feel right now, but i can say that this is making hurt less. can't wait to come back when everything passes to appreciate it even more. this is something i've never see or heard like before. pure art. thank you dijon, god bless.

Wow! I’m 67 and this blew me away

cannot be more happy that I stumbled onto this video, Dijon is criminally underrated

This is a masterpiece

Watching this for the 10 trillionth time, it never gets old. Absolutely is a genuine masterpiece in my opinion

You can tell his voice is shot, but his voice actually sounds good when shot.

U know when u find right thing at the right time? This was it for me, Thank you Dijon.

Shoutout to the drummer on Talk Down for the flawless break beat. Blows my mind everytime.

The Dress has so much potential as a single/music video. I'm in-visioning the music video to have a reunion between ex-lovers, with flashbacks to an 80s prom. That's the essence I imagine when listening to the song.

Rodeo Clown was one of the hardest things to watch. I genuinely wanted to cry when I saw him hugged mk.gee

Those triceps are ridiculous 💪🏾

The way they were feeding off each other's energy 🥰

Can’t wait for this man. I can already tell the album and film is gonna be a classic

I had the blessing of seeing them open for Bon Iver when he was on tour, and it was ethereal. I find myself coming back to this video/ regularly and it never gets old. Dijon is generational talent. I sincerely hope he gets the recognition he deserves. This album has done so much for my life and well being. THANK YOU

An amazing musician for years but this is truly a raw audiovisual masterpiece. The earlier drops were beautiful but all together as a film it’s truly next level artistic expression.

I think I've listened to this at least once a day for a week.

it’s been over a year and it’s still stuck on replay i love this album so beautifully created THANK YOU DIJON

love how absolutely raw and emotional both the record and these performances are. its really thrilling to watch and honestly has helped me step into more of my own as a person. got nothing but love for you Dijon
