yk 028: Nahnee Bori - Mr. Man

posted December 2, 2014 #

Nahnee Bori may not be a name you're familiar with but I suspect you've encountered his work under a different project. Have you played TwoDots? Yea, he had a hand in that under the Upright T-Rex Music moniker. He's also released two previous albums that should most definitely be heard - they range from tackling minimalistic, ambient arrangements to traditional pop greatness.

So, with all that being said, I am incredibly happy to get his latest out into the world. Mr. Man takes the insights from his two prior albums and turns them on their head. Traditional instrumentation is eschewed for the unexpected. Sounds loop and build - sometimes chaotic, sometimes beautiful. Often both. I'm never sure where to tell someone where to start with this one but try out Geometric Set, Image Bounce or Bubbleguts* for a taste.

The album artwork is by the unbelievably talented Rachel Briggs and I hope to have plenty more to say about that later.

The album is available on Bandcamp for now and I'll be adding it to other outlets over the coming weeks. It's Cyber Monday priced - just $2.50 - so get it now.

*potentially the best song name. ever.
