Mogipbob’s “High on the Hog” Balances Prairie Storytelling with Modern Experimentation Album

Jason Graves, recording under the name Mogipbob, approaches High on the Hog with clarity about his priorities: songwriting first, production second. Based in Hythe, Alberta, and balancing music with everyday working life, Graves writes from observation rather than spectacle. This twelve-song collection documents routines, frustrations, humor, and reflection drawn directly from small-town experience.

Every track is written solely by Graves, while vocals and instrumentation are executed through AI tools. That decision is central to the album’s identity. Instead of treating technology as a gimmick, he uses it as a delivery system, allowing him to concentrate on melody construction and narrative detail. The experiment works because the lyrical voice remains conversational and grounded. The human perspective is never outsourced.

Stylistically, the album blends folk and country foundations with flashes of 70s pop-funk groove. Acoustic textures sit comfortably beside rhythmic basslines and warm chord progressions. Some tracks lean playful, carrying a wink of prairie humor; others slow down into reflective territory that considers work, relationships, and personal endurance. The sequencing creates balance rather than a dramatic arc, more like flipping through lived moments than following a single storyline.

What distinguishes High on the Hog is its refusal to chase polish for its own sake. Graves embraces imperfection in tone and theme. The result is an album that values relatability over virtuosity, anchoring modern tools in traditional storytelling. It feels less like a product and more like a diary set to rhythm.
