Hands down, Theo Katzman is one of the best lamp players of this generation

"What do you play?"

Every time you think Joe Dart is about to miss a beat, he puts it in the pocket in the pocket in the back pocket.

That bass line has its own zip code.

It's the face he makes when he's playing the lamp that does it for me.

i love how one of the greatest studio bass performances of the last half-century was performed in a living room while sitting on an exercise bench

My dopamine production increases exponentially when those keyboard chords start elevating this groove @ 2:03

Just think - if Jack hadn't shouted "Yo," to get em out of the bridge, this recording could've gone on for 3 hours instead of 3 minutes.

I've got a fever and the only prescription is more bassline.

It’s inspired by the Weather Report song “Teen Town”, in which Jaco Pastorius recorded the bass and snare drum separately from the high hat and the bass line was doubled by synth player’s left hand… just like this song

Bassist and guitarist are so tight you could put a piece of coal between them and by the end of the track it would be a diamond.

Interesting how their whole band is a rhythm section.

Lyrics to "Dean Town": "yo"

Lyrics:

"Do you have a lead guitarist?"

This bassist is probably the funkiest I’ve heard that doesn’t do slap bass

Guy: I play in a band

I'm a drummer and I immediately noticed that the layer drum beat parts shared by the two drummers here is replicable by one single drummer. That said, their choice of sharing the work load thus securing a consistent quality of the parts , for example the bass drum foot might have slight frequency inconsistencies if played by one drummer but here the guy plays it with his lead right hand which is the hand most practiced by most drummers. Also, the choice showed a care and personal investment in the final production as two drummers sharing a one drummer part is always going to sound better by virtue of keen attention to specific parts. The real skill here then though is the cohesion both drummers have with each other. Infact and honestly speaking the two together have better cohesion than my four limbs do together despite my limbs reporting only to one mind, mine! Music isn't always what you hear. It's the invention, the choices, the values and many more deeper aspects of the performers in question. The band are killer but I wanted to talk about the drum part for this thread
