Talented French Tech Duo Releases Ethereal EP of Mesmerizing Electronic Music
Sounding like a compelling cross of the
Kraftwerk and Bryan Ferry, a couple of young Frenchmen based in Berlin, Jim Cassady & Pablo, have
collaborated to produce an album of mesmerizing electronic music. Recently
released on the European label Humble Musique, the ethereal EP contains a
quartet of instrumentals augmented by just enough human backing vocals to ground
the otherwise otherworldy tracks with a sultry, softening human touch.
The smooth grooves are definitely danceable, yet reflect the
complexity of the talented combo’s eclectic influences, ranging from Mozart to
Monk to Coltrane to Hendrix. Keyboardist Jim’s job is to endlessly explore pleasant
melodies while also maintaining the rhythm. Improvisation is the ostensibly the
passion of Pablo, a self-taught guitarist who breaks all the rules he’s better
off having never learned.
Since beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, but in the
ear of the behearer, may I simply suggest you click on the links below to check
out these talented, hi-tech troubadours. I hope that you enjoy them as much as
I do, so that they might be venture to these shores to stage their first
concert in the U.S.
Appreciate Jim Cassady
& Pablo now and avoid the rush!
