New music from Coultrain who loses himself in a distinctively enigmatic wave of avant-garde soul & funk on his ambitious new album To What Do We Owe This Pleasure?. As on past works, the L.A.-by-way-of-St-Louis performer creates sprawling soundpieces that are crafted from the bones of soul, electronic, and funk music while simultaneously pushing his songwriting to areas often left unexplored by less adventurous artists. Personal favorites include a fluttering space-soul number called “Negrolab“; a shimmery bit of Sa-Ra/PPP informed future-funk called ‘Gah Lee“; a shot of vibrant Detroit electro called “Aurora“; a weirdly titled bit of cerebral art-rock called “Indeed A Duck“; and the beautifully bluesy neo-soul gem (that is also a jewel) called “Memory of Imposters“. You can show your support by purchasing the album directly from Coultrain (via his Bandcamp page listed below) as well as by checking out more from the pioneering soulman when you connect with him online via the links listed.
“…this tape is a weapon. This tape was channeled. This tape is an observation. This tape was fun to make. Hope it is also as fun to listen to. For if one is being honest, we as writers, visionaries and musicians, are only vessels for something indescribable, working through us, to get to know us, for us to know. This tape is dedicated in deep veneration to the breath of that enigma.” – Aaron “Coultrain” Frison
