Product description


It's been a remarkable year for Son Little. He has toured with the likes of Kelis, Selah Sue, Curtis Harding and Mumford and Sons, produced an EP for the legendary Mavis Staples, played the Bonnaroo Festival and made his U.S. television debut on CBS Saturday Morning. All that and it's just the beginning. Son Little now releases his highly anticipated Anti- Records debut. Born in Los Angeles, where he learned how to listen and how to play before moving east to New York and New Jersey. He dropped in to scenes in Manhattan then Philadelphia, and there he collaborated with acts like The Roots and RJD2. His sound, in its purest form, is American music. The artist formerly known as Aaron Livingston knows his nation and its sounds well. The songs teem with small moments creating a bigger picture, a pointillist art piece made from junkyards and viewed from space. Pulling inspiration from the color wheel diaspora of American music, Son Little draws from a deep well, using different buckets to visit and revisit, finding flourishes to add to the core of his songs. There, at the end of 'Doctor's In,' is a roving banjo; there, at the start of 'Go Blue Blood Red,' is a keyboard riff culled from a kid's Blue Man Group keyboard; there, in 'Carbon,' is an electric Howlin' Wolf stomp and start. For Son Little, studio time is a joy, where every good idea leads to four more.LP - 180 Gram With Download.
