Review: The Under The Covers EP is a collaborative project started by David Marston and Brigitte Zozula. During an impromptu rehearsal session, Marston and Zozula decided to record reinterpretations of songs they had previously written and performed together - fusing elements of disco, jazz, reggae, dub and Latin music. They then brought in frequent collaborators Adam Francis (bass), Aquiles Navarro (trumpet) and Morgan Wiley of Midnight Magic (keys) to help them bring the covers to life. The musicians have varied backgrounds, but their friendship and musical synergy helped them to create beautiful and sonically diverse versions of the songs. The material on the EP consists of a rework of their last hit "Pussy", originally written by Marston with Wolf + Lamb regular Nick Monaco, "Trust Me", written/composed by Marston and Zozula, and some songs inspired by African soul ballads.
Review: San Francisco's Nick Monaco brings his experiences within his hometown's nightlife culture into his own 'carefree, cosmic experimental pop sound', recently heard on his album Half Naked for Soul Clap's Crew Love label. Here he collaborates his fellow Crew Love alumnus David Marston from Kingston, Jamaica for the rather explicit "Pussy". Its risque lyrics are contrasted by an addictive modern synth-pop accompaniment with smooth arpeggios, soaring synth leads and rusty machine rhythms.
Review: The fledgling Cool Kid Music return with the debut release from the promising David Marston. "What We've Got" is the perfect track for the dying days of summer, filled with minimal garage beats, smooth melodies and vocals that have been shattered into a thousand glassy pieces. "Top Off" is the real killer though, a smooth piece of rubbery future soul with an R&B sensibility that recalls the devastating jams of Jacques Greene rolled into an unexpectedly threadbare sensibility.
