Daniel Blumberg - Minus - New Vinyl Lp 2018 Mute Pressing with Gatefold Jacket - Indie Rock / Experimental

Street Date: 5/4/18

Daniel Blumberg is still only 27 but has been putting out music in a plethora of different guises for a decade now. From the auspicious beginnings with Cajun Dance Party, to Yuck, to putting out solo works under the monikers Oupa and Hebronix, to recently working in free-form improvisation in the Cafe Oto scene, he's pretty much the definition of restless. Unsurprisingly he has a new project set for release, surprisingly it's being released under his own given name. The first teaser of Minus is the title track, a 6 minute song that starts intimate with just Daniel on piano, recalling regretful actions. As it slowly crawls through the recesses of his attempted apathy, with him repeating "minus the intent to feel," creaking and whining violins creep in, emphasising his lonesome pain. 'Minus' is a confessional song from someone feeling like they need to get these things off their chest, even if it might be tearing them apart to do so. It taps into the central themes of the album, which Daniel recorded over 5 days after a debilitating break-up of a 7-year relationship.
