Embrace

by Chris Dingman

supported by

Peter Jones Amazing and engaging. Soothing and exhilarating. A musical journey.

tallpaul1234 meditative and swinging Favorite track: Goddess.

StrangeFlow A very colorful jazz album with vibraphone as leading instrument! Relaxing and yet lively and packed with nice harmonies and rhythms. Nice! Favorite track: Goddess.

World of Echo Chris Dingman gets a tone out of his vibes that evokes the shimmery production of Björk's Vespertine to me (as crazy as that sounds). Oh, and you know it's always a good sign when Linda May Han Oh is on bass. Don't sleep on this, this is great modern jazz.

conorprovenzano Vibes are revitalized in this one with a sweet contemplative clarity and kidly honesty - best heard by giving undivided attention. Shoutout to devotional artists who sit Vipassana. Favorite track: Steps on the Path.

Matt Schwerin First all, can we just agree that bandcamp is the no-contest best music discovery and streaming platform? Ok. I discovered this album because it was featured somewhere on bandcamp and ya know, it's just a delight. As someone who played a bit of vibes in high school and college, and as a long time drummer, I find this record just to be groovy, head-bob inducing, and all around swell. Really good stuff. Favorite track: Folly of Progress.

all is all there is. i love you. thumbnail

Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man
by Aaron Parks

supported by 35 fans who also own “Embrace”

A great companion to Little Big. Similar to the first album in concept, but more subtle in style. It lacks the raw power of Siren, Digital Society, and Rising Mind, but replaces it with a barely perceptible build in tension throughout the album, with a clear resolution (Unknown). This album is as much of a story as its predecessor. ianjworsomething
