Release Notes:
Warm Blanket is the third album from Mississippi songwriter,
multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dent May. Recorded in solitude in a
reportedly haunted Victorian house by the bay in St. Augustine, Florida, the
album arrives just barely a year after the release of his previous LP Do Things.
Dent's most ambitious undertaking yet, Warm Blanket is another kaleidoscopic
odyssey through the restless musical mind of a DIY pop auteur. He played almost
all of the instruments on the album, making use of the house's antique grand
piano and recruiting Florida locals to fill in on horns, strings, and pedal
steel guitar.
The result is an album of existential pop, psychedelic funk, and melancholy soul
with soaring arrangements ripped from the pages of classic American songwriting.
Lyrically, Dent investigates life's timeless mysteries, touching on youth,
mortality, alienation, and unrequited love with startling honesty and humor.
A delightful mix of organic textures, analog synth squiggles, inventive vocal
melodies, and sincere wordplay, Warm Blanket is a bold step forward for an
artist who shows no signs of slowing down.
