MOUNT KIMBIE
mountkimbie.com
On the fourth anniversary of Love What Survives, Mount Kimbie released two unheard tracks from the album’s sessions: “Black Stone” and “Blue Liquid” (available as a free download and for pre-order on white label 12”). According to mountkimbie.warp.net the White label 12” won’t be out until October 8, 2021, and will be strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide.
We caught the Los Angeles duo in June 2013 and wrote, “Mount Kimbie graced the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis on Monday night and they were phenomenal. That’s saying a lot, especially given that they’re mainly beat-driven electronic dance music. But they’re not your garden variety electronic band and there wasn’t one laptop on the stage doing most of the work, as can be the case with most electronic acts. Mount Kimbie is the collaboration of Kai Campos and Dominic Maker, two adorable and talented young men based in London who craft exquisite, intricate music.”
Love What Survives was originally released on September 7, 2017… the Love What Survives White label 12” will be out October 8, 2021.

DAVE MCMURRAY
bluenote.com
Blue Note Records is releasing saxophonist Dave McMurray’s sophomore album Grateful Deadication.
This is McMurray’s unique take on the Grateful Dead songbook… transforming and transcending Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter’s songs.
McMurray explains his obsession, “My Grateful Dead adventure began a few years ago when I was lucky enough to play a show with The Wolf Bros. The long-form, odd measures and complex chords of the music hooked me immediately. I noticed the songs had great melodies, yet held the openness of Miles Davis’ Electric Period….The music was catchy, psychedelic, raw, with the idea that nobody solos / everybody solos—akin to Weather Report. The more I listened, the more I knew these songs would eventually become a vehicle for my jazz expression.”
