“Cargo” is one of five downtempo beauties to feature on Sean La’Brooy’s Merchant E.P. which is due out tomorrow on Scissor & Thread. It’s an expansive, seven-minute journey that’s both cerebral and somewhat moving. More than you could probably say about most modern electronica which tends to desperately fit inside a box.
Here’s how Sean explains the E.P. as whole:
“the purpose of this record was to create five tracks that each feel unique and distinctive from each other while still maintaining a common thread that connects them all to the same place. All my favorite records have a certain distinctiveness across each track that ties them together to create a sort of family of works. I think if you can achieve that cohesion, you’ve made a great album. With Merchant, I’ve tried my hardest to establish a unique identity while featuring 5 tracks that feel totally different at the same time. Different concepts, genres, tempos, instrumentation, still with a red thread to connect them all. In my mind, those commonalities are defined by a particular mood or sentiment, the use of playful melodies, and a reliance on acoustic rhythms throughout”.
Until tomorrow, enjoy our exclusive stream of “Cargo:”
