British art-pop provocateur Dean Blunt and LA Club Resource head Delroy Edwards have joined forces for a new album.
Entitled Desert Sessions, the 19-track instrumental record was recorded “over a few months” in LA last year and is released via Edwards own label. The press release describes the record as “a gnarled, lo-fi, psyched out record, at times clashing in its form, expectedly pushing the edges of the avant-garde.”
This year has proven productive for both Edwards and Blunt. Edwards released Rio Grande in March on LA Club Resource before dropping Aftershock a little over month later on L.I.E.S – his first release for the label since 2013.
Aside from receiving a production credit on A$AP Rocky’s album Testing, Blunt released compilation Muggy Vol. 1 on World Music in August and Soul on Fire, which featured Mica Levi and A$AP Rocky in September.
