Unique and awesome
4th solo album from Dirty Projectors bassist. Spiritually yearning
mix of strings & woodwind with a hint of free-jazz.
Let's be honest, if
you're a singer-songwriter it's difficult to get noticed in the
crowd, such is the saturated market. Originality helps, as does
taste, honesty, believability, and genuine warmth. All those
qualities are present on this release. And then some!
Although the songs were
composed in 2007, Baldwin wisely allowed them room to breathe,
letting them evolve naturally, letting the arrangements settle in
over time before finally recording them in 2010. Using a deceptively
simple palette of vocals, bowed double bass, violin, clarinet, alto
saxophone, trumpet and one track added drums and guitar, Baldwin hand
picked a small, trusted group of musicians, including some childhood
friends to record with.
