lgm122: Placid Larry - "12" (April 26th 2013)
Placid Larry - "12"
Placid Larry (alias Daniel
Ray) is a South African born electronic music producer, currently living in
Bahrain where he has been developing his sound and has been working as a
resident DJ in a restaurant/lounge since 2007. His influences are vast – from trip-hop through
jazz and house to drum&bass. His second release on label Lemongrassmusic is
named "12" - an album of deep heartfelt goodness . 12
short stories encompassing a refined outlook on downtempo and
broken beats without sacrificing the necessary. An uncomplicated array of work
focused around the idea of simplicity .
Despite the seriousness at
times , the album possesses a strong overall sense of positivity - a belief
that better things are to come . Gentle emotive tracks for happy peaceful times
..
Friend and well known sax
player in Bahrain , Franky Flowerz makes a lovely contribution on 'Weary
Drifter' and 'Subroutine' filling space with beautiful brass melodies providing
depth and continuity to this LP.
