Parson

Austin’s Parson [Planet Mu, Dubline] takes his own spin on things- I remember the first time I heard Throw Some D’s, it made me think demented mutant tar babies were crawling out of the swamp-hood to stomp with me, bearing street-lamp reflecting, rhinestone-encrusted grills . His productions reflect the eclecticism of the city’s musically diverse atmosphere- ranging from straight-up gangsta riddims all the way to the folk-inspired Empty Houses (Dubline) which pierces straight into the soul, and is still one of my favorite tunes to date. I’ve spent many hot afternoons lazy and sticky under the sun in Austin, and there’s a deepness to it, and the sense that you’re somewhere very special, where special things occur. Parson’s basslines are visceral like this, slow and globular and one-of-a-kind. - Pandai'a Read more on Last.fm.
