Jesse Kivel is a recording artist based in Los Angeles, California. In his 30's he decided to go solo and release 'Content' and 'Infinite Jess' . He is currently also a member of the acclaimed electronic trio Mt. Si. Jesse spends his free time writing music about existence and the subtleties of aging.
The third EP for Cascine by Northeast Los Angeles producer Michael David is a four-song showcase of lavender balearica and elevated collaboration, born of practice, purity, and Pacific memory: Talking Book World. Named for a long-shuttered audio book shop deep in the valley where David worked as a teenager, the title hints at the wavelength of its clientele: lonely commuters, seeking escapism in a stranger’s voice. “It was a quiet place… I remember the solitude of the patrons,” said David. This music is equally attuned to escape and contemplation, fusing fantasy and melancholia in sensual arrangements of guitar, rhythm, and forgotten synth patches.
