$6.99
In the 1940s, they used to call Tommy Dorsey the “sentimental
gentleman”. In a now-bygone era, Dorsey would charm listeners with
melodic and exciting arrangements, music rhythmic enough for
dancefloors and introspective enough for consideration on your home
hi-fi. Jonny Dillon, appearing at WR as Automatic Tasty, could be
considered the sentimental gentleman of today’s bedroom electronic
music scene. Bringing out superbly well-produced braindance with all
the style and panache of a big-bandleader like Dorsey, Automatic Tasty
makes music that is both suitable for a club environment and a quieter
home listening environment. On Speech & Silence, simply beautiful
sections of chords and melodies weave effortlessly over to-the-point
drum machine beats, and Dillon’s talent for warm analog electronics
couldn’t be clearer. Already boasting an impressive back catalog of
releases on labels like Lunar Disko, Acroplane and The Centrifuge,
Automatic Tasty’s contribution to the WR catalog is an essential
recording for any fan of nostalgia, melodic electronic music and
cassettes – which is to say just about anybody. Speech & Silence is an
absolutely lovely album that will appeal to everyone.
