Our Take
Our Take
Ben LaMar Gay's "Downtown Castles Can Never Block the Sun (IA11 Edition)" is a delightful kaleidoscope of sonic experimentation that will leave you scratching your head in the best way possible. The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and composer has crafted a genre-defying masterpiece that effortlessly blends jazz, funk, electronic, and soul elements into a deliciously weird concoction.
From the funky basslines of "Muhal" to the hypnotic grooves of "Swim Swim" and the trippy audio collage of "Lamps will Light the Way," each track on this album is a mini adventure in sound. Gay's playful approach to music-making is evident throughout, as he mixes unconventional instruments like a kalimba and a toy piano with traditional jazz instrumentation to create a truly unique sonic landscape.
The IA11 Edition of the album adds an extra layer of intrigue, with bonus tracks that showcase Gay's versatility as a musician and producer. Standout tracks like "We are Still..." and "Oh No... Not Again!" highlight Gay's talent for blending genres and pushing the boundaries of what is considered "normal" in music.
Overall, "Downtown Castles Can Never Block the Sun (IA11 Edition)" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons and experience something truly out of the ordinary. Ben LaMar Gay has firmly solidified himself as a boundary-pushing artist to watch in the world of experimental music.
