"Benbecula are over the moon to secure this multi-talented individual from the west coast of the USA, whose jazz inspired mix of electronic funk is possibly one of the most unique blends of sound to be produced this decade. Followers of the label will no doubt recognise Brian's output as one half duo behind the highly acclaimed Minerals release "Free Festival". Brian's solo work is a phenomenal one man band with multi-tracked instrumentation that is so well put together it easily deceives, sounding more like a 6 piece band."

p.s. I have an album coming out on the minerals series in may... more info tba

you should save your judgments until the album is actually released. I find it hard to logically parallel the two, but maybe because electronic music and tortoise aren't the only things I listen to.

whatever you do, make sure you get a copy before they sell out. I'm sure you'll feel differently once you hear everything .

anything that is jazz influenced and new is tortoise

i don't listen to anything else actually

i like a few tortoise albums

hooray for life and liking things!

everytime i read your posts I just start reading a book instead.

everytime i do something, i do something better instead

you don't sound like Tortoise at all!

everything sounds like 2 rocks being slammed against each other.....

influence is unavoidable as are idiots!

brilliant!

This is super, if the two tracks on youtube are any indication. Thumbs up. Captures an early jazz fusion funk vibe and takes it new places.
