Less aggressive than War in My Pen , more skeletal than Disco! — sits closest to Beware of the Monkey . “Showbiz” is a mood piece, not a single. If you’re new to MIKE, start with “Saran Pack” or “Crystal Ball”; this is for deeper cuts.
Showbiz! is a deeply personal and reflective work that examines MIKE’s growth as an artist over several years. The album paints a cohesive picture of his evolution, moving away from grand statements to focus on "documenting the moment" and capturing the hazy fragments of life on the road and in the studio. Reviewers from Pitchfork have described it as his most refined and spiritual sounding project to date. Production and Sound MIKE Showbiz- Zip
