Danny Scott Lane – Wave to Mikey (2022)
https://glossymistakes.bandcamp.com/album/wave-to-mikey
Equal parts avant-garde composition, instrumental city-pop, ambient, Kankyō Ongaku (environmental music) and Fourth World music, Wave to Mikey is an impressionistic and reflective cycle of eleven richly detailed memory portraits. Throughout the album, the influence of Jon Hassell, Arthur Russell, Hiroshi Yoshimura and Yellow Magic Orchestra hangs in the air like late-night mist, adding character but never overshadowing the rhythmic ambience of Danny’s musical visions.
The album features John Carroll Kirby on keys, Joseph Shabason on sax and E Talley II on flute.
