Spool

Ultra-smooth listening vibes emanate a soulful, reflective mood that will have you brooding over love turned sour in one instant, only to gear you up for a new courtship the next. New Dog Records’ Spool, the combined talents of San Francisco-based keyboardist/producer Jhno and guitarist/bassist John Ridenour from Chicago, saturate subdued suggestions of Funk and soul with tidal waves of Ambient, both broken up with barely noticeable anorexic Jungle breaks. Improvisational jazz nuances lend a lukewarm groove to this vibrant relaxation music while maintaining a futuristic appeal. Revealing the sensitive side of intelligent dance music, Spool understands that even scenesters can find the time to chill.
