Review:
Thomas Melchior and Baby Ford's irregular collaborative project yields one of its most esoteric releases yet. No matter what its title suggests, Deep Dawn feels more like night descending as a gloopy, claustrophobic bass threatens to engulf everything in its path, including the breathy vocals. If the title track is characterised by an innate heaviness, then "New Day Dawn" is the exact opposite: the same vocal is at the arrangement's core, but the elements that surround it are infused with a lightness. Razor-sharp percussion and wanton horn stabs revolve around the vocal sample as woozy chords nudge the track towards a trippy denouement.
