The Beige 01, independent
Like the name, the beige is low key. The five-piece has stripped back
to an ambient music with soulful vocals on top but not necessarily out
front. In fact, the first song “So Near” starts with a distant
echo of blues/gospel and quickly builds from that. It prepares you for
the group’s subtle way with sonics. There are little flourishes
of percussion, pedal steel, banjo and moody atmosphere in a tight ensemble
sound. Co-producer and band member Jon Wood has fashioned a good reputation
for his evocative and rootsy productions.
