〈BIG CROWN〉A sound inspired by Italian film scores and library music from the 1960s and '70s, blending the distinctive bass-driven sensibilities of soul and reggae with a jazz foundation. Marco Benevento—a keyboardist and composer highly acclaimed in the U.S. soul scene for his collaborations with Freddie Gibbs & Madlib and contributions to works by Clairo and Leon Bridges—releases two tracks from his debut solo album *Glera*, on the 〈BIG CROWN〉 label, as a 7-inch single!
Track List
This release pairs the thrilling “Houdini,” driven by a roll drum and piano, with “Miss Neptune feat. Elizabeth Steiner,” a unique track featuring a reggae bass and harp—a combination that offers a sensual, rich groove that feels both familiar yet fresh, sprinkled with reverse playback and echoes. A stellar lineup of guest musicians—including Molly Lewis, Dave Guy, and harpist Elizabeth Steiner—enhances the cinematic atmosphere. (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
