Home / Artists / Reminder / West Side Cabin #1

File Under: Chicago underground jazz/electronica/beat fusion with yummy vibrations. Reminder is the solo outing of Chicago scene staple Josh Abrams, whose bass playing has held the groove for many artists over the past ten years. A departure from the avant and jazz roots of his Town & County and Sticks & Stones projects, Abrams takes a cue from his residency as a member of Prefuse 73's backing band (if you've seen Prefuse live and felt your body vibrate, it was more than likely thanks to Josh's bass). Here, he ventures into beat constructions and sample-based compositions, yet his tracks possess a rich vocabulary that could only come from a schooled musician. Combining his upright and electric bass playing with MPC drums, synths, shakers, bells, chimes, mbira and xylophone, Abrams creates an organic palette to color his loose grooves. You'll find subtle influences from J-Dilla or DJ Premier, while the inspiration of Sun Ra and Steve Reich loom in the distance.
