Serving up scintillating portions of emulsified and emotive system music, the Colorado-based producer Dillard has steadily redefined the meaning of “rocky mountain high”; through careful attention to clarity and composition, he’s suffused a panoply of styles and modes into a catalog of tracks designed to carry impact while balancing a vibe. In anticipation of the release of his Unfolding EP through SmallPrint Recordings, the Rust took advantage of the opportunity to premiere the effusive track “Jimmy 57”.
Wielding liquid sub textures and a bevy of of interlocking chord progressions, “Jimmy 57” is a sensual, stirring ride through musical modality. Rhythmic pockets catch and slingshot the melody across the track’s percussive underbelly, jostling the beat in slurred syncopation. It’s the kind of subtle swing that keeps the shoulders low and the neck limber; downbeats that puncture the arrangement in tandem with the cadence of each phrase. An appropriately smooth tune to round off an even smoother EP, “Jimmy 57” is just the first taste of the full pie, and it’ll be piping hot and ready for consumption on 7/6 on all available platforms.
If you’re interested in owning a physical edition of the release, there is a limited vinyl run available for purchase HERE.
