Share-a-tories // Dissolved In the Dark
I receive a lot of music submissions. It’s something that is still very bizarre to me and I try my best to make it through all that I can, but it gets to the point where if I neglect to check my email for a day or two the inbox numbers are staggering! And while I appreciate anyone who thinks enough of my blog to send me their music, there are some that just immediately catch my eye. These are folks who semi-frequently recommend music to me that they genuinely think I’ll like. It’s not their music but they just think that I’d dig it. John of Solar Bears is one, My pal Riley over at The Leaving Scene is another, there is always my partner in crime Unholy Rhythms, and now I’m happy to say that Jordan of Mutual Benefit is another (although he might have been a bit biased).
Straight from his cassette label Kassette Klub comes the newest release from Share-a-tories. The mind behind the music is a dude named Andrew Morehart who, according to Jordan, is a near-constant member of Mutual Benefit by playing live and recording with them. Listening to his solo project it’s easy to see why the two are such a good fit. It’s mostly very stripped-down and has a feeling of spontaneity about it, much like Mutual Benefit; but on Dissolved In the Dark Andrew passes up sparseness for youthful energy. To personify Share-a-tories would be easy. It’s as if it walks straight up to you, introduces itself, and reaches out for a friendly handshake. I dig.
