"This is the first thing I've released that I've recorded entirely in my home studio. It's Bernice's (my Wurlitzer 140B) recording debut. The percussion and drums are samples from Fruitlflies. I hope you like it."
Earlier this year, we thoroughly got to know Gabriel Garzón-Montano through the release of his sophomore album, Jardín. The multi cultural Brooklyn resident took his life experiences as such, along with his childhood growing up with an equally talented musician mother, into his inspiration in making the album. The result was an impressively avant-garde introspective, overflowing with natural elements, just as his tour, donned with a piano gushing with flowers, did in its live performance.
Today, we are revisiting one of the tracks from Jardín as it expresses itself in a new iteration. As a part of its new playlist, Amazon has partnered with unique artists to be apart of "Amazon Acoustics." Alongside Beach Slang, Deer Tick Tift Merritt and others, GGM has lent a stripped down and acoustic version of "Crawl" to the list. Here, "Crawl" feels almost broken down into each of its instrumental parts – keyboard, percussion and vocals – as any well-done acoustic should. Check it out above ahead of its release on September 8th.
