James Brandon Lewis: “Broken Shadows”

Percussion like you’re chasing down a film noir villain. You know, back alleys, stark shadows, black cats crossing your path while the pitter patter of footsteps grows stronger, then weaker, then stronger again as a saxophone howl sails off into the breeze? Our highlighted track “Broken Shadows” from James Brandon Lewis keeps it pretty minimal. One horn, one percussionist, one bassist to yield a result that’s greater than the sum of its products. And it’s products are already pretty great. Off Apple Cores. Via Anti-Records.
