Picking up where he left off with the first album of surrealist cinematic
instrumentals influenced by composers and musicians like John Barry, Ennio
Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, David Holmes, Morphine, Calexico, Marc Ribot, Ry
Cooder and others, Lee Baby Simms expands upon his aura of spooky criminality.
With Mystery Loves Company, Lee Baby Simms follows up on his critically
acclaimed debut, The Escapist, with twelve new tracks of Dead Sea soundtracks
for imagined films. As with The Escapist, Simms wrote performed and recorded the
album in its entirety, playing all instruments and creating the beats and loops
from scratch. Utilizing the influence of film-noir, crime jazz, down-tempo
electronica and trip-hop, the album is designed to work as if each track were a
scene in a film. Peppering the album with Latin influences, as heard on tracks
such as Latino and Lluvia dÆOro, Simms reveals the influence of his immersion
via travels in such countries as Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and others. Tracks
such as Ennio, Schifrin and Meanside highlight SimmsÆ dark, cinematic
inspirations, while surreal acoustic tracks like Rainy and Golden Shower provide
the light and reprieve from the nightscapes.
