Review: The Nice, France based producer and live act William Montana aka Sweely has appeared previously on dtape and La Chinerie and now on Lobster Theremin sub label Distant Hawaii. On the All The Reasons EP, he starts out with the lush title track; a deep and dusty tribute to the Kenny Dixon Jr sound with sultry Rhodes, rusty rhythms and a hypnotic vocal refrain. "Around" is a more straight up affair, bouncy and jackin' around in loopy fashion like the best of Motor City Drum Ensemble's Raw Cuts series. On the flip, we've got "Yes He Is", geared more for the late night on this evocative and bittersweet number relying on dubbier elements while "Blue Faces" gets stuck right into the known LT vibe with its overdriven/tape saturated aesthetic. Retaining the sombre dubbed out sounds as heard previously but expressed in more more vividly emotive fashion.
