Our store has restocked the store due to its huge success. 2021 solo works by Daniel Aged, an LA-based producer and bass player who also participates in the works of Sam Gendel, FKA Twigs, Jamire Williams, etc., are now in stock!! Not only basses but also pedals. A wonderful piece of elegant and emotional songwriting that uses steel and other instruments. A stunning output of influences from all directions, including jazz, R&B, hip-hop, ambient, electronica, etc.

Aged's latest album 'You Are Protected By Silent Love' follows his recent self-lumin-titled LP and 'Bass Improvisations EP' and takes the head music into even deeper waters, filled with kosmische Americana, microfunk daydreams, liquid mercury gospel, Red-era Fripp dark matter riffing, and delicate polyrhythms that subtly recall the percussive drive of footwork and jungle. So expressive is Aged's instrumentation that it's easy to forget that this is an all- instrumental affair, anchored largely by his keening pedal steel textures and inquisitive bass playing Rarely are such complex emotions and radical musical touches rendered with so much heart and directness-- in under an hour Aged invokes the urbane pastoralism of Jim O'Rourke and Ralph Towner as much as the sweetly crushing passing chords of Thomas Whitfield's band at their peak or D'Angelo's Voodoo reduced to only morning mist and tumbleweeds. While musicians often speak of aspiring to make healing music, Aged's album arrives truly as a balm, with room for every shade of emotion but guided by a tender, unafraid hand.
