Sean McCann - Chances Are Staying (Lp- DNT records)



Having just bought a new turntable, lately folks have been stopping by to listen or have been bringing over records they love. Chances Are Staying was lent to me and has struck my ear in a way that has prevented me from being able to take it off the turntable. A delightful mix or organic and synthesized instrumentals, some ambient, some with floating rhythmic textures. Both showcase McCann's brilliant songcraft. Whether he takes a freeform approach or a more melodically structured one the songs come out completely mesmerizing. While the songs are long and drone filled they also manage to be lush in a clear and vibrant way. Pick this one up before it goes out of print!
