Item Description
Dawn People's "The Star Is Your Future" is a studio collaboration between New
York musicians Nick Forte and Peter Negroponte. The pair's mutual disregard for
musical categorization results in a genre-bending ride on the nine-track LP, which
portrays their diverse backgrounds while maintaining a sense of accessibility,
continuity, and purpose. Both veterans of the underground experimental scene, the
duo entered into the project preparing to make a serious racket. In time, their
mutual appreciation for breezy 70's jazz fusion, kraut rock, and library funk became
apparent, setting the course for the sessions. In the summer of 2016, they started
tracking live jams with drums and electronics at the Outlier Inn studio in upstate
New York with engineer Josh Druckman. As the tracks took shape, Forte and
Druckman arranged the material and Negroponte overdubbed guitar, synthesizer,
bass, and percussion. Finally, the tracks were handed to Abe Seiferth for mixing and
post production. The sound of this LP harkens back to a time not too long ago, in
the early - mid 90's, with groups like Air, Cornelius, Stereolab, Tortoise, and Cibo
Matto. All these artists combined a love of Krautrock & David Axelrod records into
a lushly produced jigsaw puzzle of live instrumentation, editing, sampling, and
immaculate production. It is a genre that Pitchfork's Eric Harvey recently described
as "recombinant pop", which is applied to "adventurous, sample-driven and stylecopping
music". "The Star Is Your Future" shifts aesthetically and dramatically
between sections and phrases, woozy in the best way and never unfocused.
Together, Forte and Negroponte have cobbled together a dazzling scope of sonic
elements to create something cohesive and mesmerizing - put on the record and get
lost in the haze.
