I asked Peter Brunn if he was a Tyondai Braxton fan because that album sounds quite similar to some of Braxton’s solo work. I think he took great offense to that. I always forget how pissy artists can be if you don’t recognize them as COMPLETELY singular pioneers.

Steven Julien - Bloodline
https://stevenjulien.bandcamp.com/album/bloodline

This album is awesome. Basically, it's techno/electro made on all old school analog synths and 808. Streamlined minimalist machine funk and ambiguous melancholic chords at its core with some improvised elements via jazz and dub sprinkled on top. Like a more extroverted Pan Sonic. So on paper that's nothing new but Steven Julien simply has a fantastic ear for his material and developing musical ideas through a track and through a whole album in a very satisfying way. Though I'm sure it can light up the dance floor, it's just super listenable music.
