Marco Benevento: “Limbs of a Pine” (f. Kalmia Traver of Rubblebucket) from TigerFace (Royal Potato Family, 9/11/12)
Marco Benevento: “Limbs of a Pine”
The opening two tracks of jam/jazz keyboardist Marco Benevento’s latest record may come as a surprise to those expecting the purely instrumental, piano-driven arrangements that have populated his previous releases. Bubbling synths and danceable rhythms underpin the repeated refrains of Rubblebucket vocalist Kalmia Traver on “Limbs of a Pine,” while an undulating bass line and harpsichord back the singer on lead single “This is How it Goes.”
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
