Recently, it was one of the most remarkable revives: how Jazz found a new, young audience, not only in its varieties of the dance floor or as samples on the hip-hop routes. But, as in the case of the brothers Mcavein, who has just published his third album “Speedo” in the role of Dana and Olden, with a predominantly instrumental sound and mental retrovibok. The thoughtful saxophone opens the rounds of its jazz album as a sound signature on “Baby, you will miss this plane.”
There were winding paths that died in the city of Hippen Eugene, Oregon, in the north -west of the United States, in this musical sphere. For example, that her mother, although it was active as an athlete in adolescence, should not have participated in a jazz -group of secondary school, a school club. There they speak in the framework of their wonderful lively performance with the accompanying group for the Kexp radio station, they met with the impressive personalities of the local musical scene and were taken under their wing.
Later, Alden with 23 younger of two covered hip-hop tracks with musician friends, such as Count’s sweatshirt or MF doom. The fact that his online subscribers jumped on him was due to the fact that Olden was already Internet -known under the pseudonym @gucci_pineApple. During Coronapandemic, he began to load a beautiful comedy in Tiktok under this pseudonym. When Dana and Oldden then compiled their own songs, they used what they learned in the school group.
A small joke on the side: a few years ago I entered into a conversation in a Berlin club with a young man; The Ethiopian jazz legend Haile Merjia was on stage. The music of Mergi, it turned out, met a young man in Skate -Video. Now he wanted to meet the Ethiopian pioneer. Amazing attractiveness from jazz can be because improvisation develops a new charm, especially taking into account endless copying and reproducibility.
Multi -instrumentist Dana now accepted the saxophone as its main tool; In the profession of bread, he works as an inspector of organic farms. Olden, who plays his drums unobtrusively and without excellent pose, has just completed his musical research at the Berkeley college in Boston. A somewhat inflationary description of the first Dana-And-Ten albums, of course, met that this duet was meeting with jazz melodies that can mean everything and nothing.
Satisfied with melancholy
“AIDSO” is now a musical leap. The publication has rounding, writing songs is more mature than on a few desired predecessor “Koyot, you are my star” (2024) and “Quiet Music for Youth” (2023) – by the way, your viral hit “Let’s move on to the Joe trader”. Thematic and stylistically wider, new songs with all the variety convey silent, satisfied with melancholy.
This tonal string is probably thanks to the Lebanese composer and producer Charif Megarbane. The brothers visited an eclectic and inventor, originally a free acquaintance, last winter in Lisbon – in fact, to launch with him. During the rainy January days, 18 songs from “Speedo” were created there.
From -from music, music also swims in the rear lamps, such as dust grains: flickering Dreampop in “childhood in love”; Synthy Pop, which soon approaches the disc, in the encouraging “do not run away.” The song “Lisbon in Rain” allows you to take a walk around the city in an impressionist way how you are unlikely to do it when it is raining – most of all in thought.
“Speedo” is an air album for soft nights that its listeners will be softly strewn with melancholy inside if the light becomes fragile again.
