ALL TOO FAMILIAR

Hypnotic, hazy and floating on a heavy but
effervescent cloud, Nobody's "All Too Familiar"
album sees the producer delving into his formative
years as a college radio DJ when his sonic palette
blossomed. With hip-hop as his foundation, and a
newly found affinity for indie and alternative rock
leading him to pick up a guitar, the doors to creating
music outside of samples was opened. Equal parts
Can, Radiohead, Tortoise, plus early DJ Shadow/Mo
Wax and the amalgamation of all these sounds has
brought forth his first fully instrumental solo record
sans samples and primarily written on his guitar.
The idea of including his family picture for a release
had always been on his mind and this album afforded
him the opportunity, made especially fitting as his
main inspiration was revisiting his own early sounds
and influences. He also enlists the aid of old friends
and collaborators such as Blank Blue bandmates
Brian Martinez on bass and Andres Renteria
providing a unified yet varied drum sound
throughout, Damon Aaron who played in the "live"
interpretations of his early recordings adding guitar
layers and frequent partner in beat production Eureka
The Butcher (Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez) on keys and
synth with Zach Burgenbauch rounding out the cast
and lending his deft touch on the string
arrangements
