Adult - This Behavior - VINYL LP

Dreamcastmoe is the recording project of singer, songwriter, producer, and DJ Davon Bryant, a lifelong resident of Washington, DC. His music moves freely between moods and modes, hypnotic, romantic, traversing electronic, R&B, funk, soul, and hip-hop - Resident Advisor dubs it Inchsoulful, cross-genre dance music.Inch This ability to adapt and finesse, to twist in different directions while staying true and coherent in vision, can be traced to his home city and it's complex cultural history. InchMost Black kids in DC don't ever get to this point,Inch he says. InchThis is what I am making this music for, in the DC tradition of soul and empathy and love that is rooted in this city. My music is for real people dealing with S**t every day.Inch A versatile, modern artist and collaborator, dreamcastmoe has thrived in the underground since his first uploads to Soundcloud and Bandcamp in 2017 and subsequent releases with labels like People's Potential Unlimited, Trading Places, and In Real Life Music. Bryant's laid-back personality, emotional honesty, and infectious energy shine through his work and how he talks about it, as Crack Magazine notes in their 2021 Rising feature Incha steady combination of confidence, creativity, and calmness.Inch He grew up playing drums in church; he's worked dead-end jobs, had ups and downs, even sold off all his gear one time, but never stopped reinvesting in himself. He is quick to praise his co-producers, rattle off influences - the visual feel of NBA 2K, the comedic timing of Bernie Mac, the savvy legacy of Duke Ellington, for starters - and credit resourceful DC breakouts like Ankhlejohn that showed him the roadmap. His voice, a steady instrument, seemingly connects it all, capable of slow falsetto flow, swaggering talk-rap, and outright croon. His storytelling style is choppy yet fluid, like a mixtape, which is how Bryant sees Sound Is L

Over the course of the last two decades, Detroit-based duo ADULT. (Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) have released six albums and nineteen EPs and singles across some of our favorite labels Mute, Ghostly International, Thrill Jockey, Clone Records, Third Man Records, and their own tag, the revered Ersatz Audio. The album, This Behavior, began as 23 demos written and recorded in a remote cabin in the woods of Northern Michigan during the dead of winter. In total isolation, and with a reduced amount of gear (a modified version of their live setup) on the cabin's kitchen table, the duo were completely immersed in an incessant inescapable studio of their own making. The result is 10 tracks of uncompromising dark electronics, showcasing ADULT.'s return to aggressive and energetic dancefloor mastery. Album opener InchThis BehaviorInch alongside the follow-up InchViolent ShakesInch (which ascends into synths wailing like warning sirens over Kuperus's commanding vocals) set the stage for an on-edge listen, while the heartbreaking InchSilent ExchangeInch unfolds as a beautiful sad synth dirge. InchPerversions of HumankindInch breaks the mood - driving the listener into a slow and low groove before the frantic album midpoint of InchIrregular PleasureInch.

Their debut full-length, following the EP PIKUL. Using PIKUL, as a blueprint, CARNAVAS seamlessly continues the moody nature of Silversun's signature sound fuzzy guitars, driving bass grooves, ethereal keyboards, angular drums, and raspy vocals.
