Nathaniel Merriweather – Lovage / Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By

Description

– A TAV Essential Listening Album –

Dan “The Automator” Nakamura (Dr. Octagonecologyst, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Deltron 3030, Gorillaz), returns with yet another facetious concept album, through yet another pseudonym, Nathaniel Merriweather, with yet another fantastic supergroup, Lovage. Ostensibly sexy but obviously satirical, Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By somehow parodies the quiet storm genre, while simultaneously managing to be the best version of the thing it’s parodying.

Filled with tunes that blend downtempo hip-hop beats (laden with hilarious pop culture samples) with mellow trip-hop and sultry vocals from Jennifer Charles and Mike Patton (Faith No More), Lovage walks the fine line between whimsical and seriously seductive. Featuring sexperts like Afrikka Bambaata, Maseo, Damon Albarn and Kid Koala (among others), this star-studded album is a romantic, half-ironic honey trap. – The Analog Vault
