Dabrye

So, my first non-New Orleans-based MP3 launch. Today's track is by a guy who's been linked pretty closely to Scott Herren (of Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas, etc.) and released the album this track is from on Herren's own Eastern Developments label.

Dabrye - D-Town Tabernacle Choir

At first, people told me Dabrye was mostly like Prefuse-lite. And, for a bit, I believed them - but Dabrye's got something else going on. He tends to be a lot more minimal than Herren in either Prefuse or Savath mode and a bit simpler, too. For Dabrye, a lot rides on the hooks he grabs up. On this track, the piano line is near-perfect. He doesn't really glitch it out too much, either. He just lets it ride. Not bad at all.

I hate to do it, butAmazon, as an import, was the only place I could find it.

Also, if you get a chance, run over to Copy, Right? and take a listen to M. Ward's Beach Boys cover. It's no "Let's Dance", but it definately takes the track to M.Ward territory.
