Dan Rincon’s Debut Solo LP ‘Spotlight City’ it Out Now!
Drummer of legendary psych-rock act OSEES, Dan Rincon, has released his debut solo LP, ‘Spotlight City,’ via Castle Face Records.
Longtime drummer of legendary psych-rock act OSEES, Dan Rincon, has released his debut solo LP, Spotlight City via Castle Face Records. The record sees Rincon building electronic soundscapes for the imaginary Spotlight City with his cadre of synthesizers. The album is a laboratory of musical experimentation and ambient expansion.
Rincon on his creative process:
“I was listening to a lot of solo Roedelius and Conrad Schnitzler records while writing this record and I’d say that both have been hugely inspirational on what I want to do as a solo recording artist. The way both of those of those artist pushed the early, chaotic electronic music into something more melodic is really inspiring to me, it’s not that dissimilar than trying to get melodies out of a modular synthesizer”
Artificial landscapes and melodies comprised of Moog Grandmother, Mellotron and a kinky Modular system span from beautiful and lilting to haunting and ethereal. The album was a years long learning experience of getting all components and ingredients to link arms and blend comfortably.
Wrangling was part of the process. Strings soaring and sines weaving. Sometimes in the atmosphere, sometimes in the Earth’s core, sometimes flanked by neon blur as it hums & weave patterns through a world imagined in vintage sci-fi pulp.
We previously reported on the album, right here.
