(Indie Pop) Beautiful Small Machines - The Dj Stayed Home (Bree Sharp) - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

Bree Sharp & Don DiLego forged a successful writing partnership over 10 years ago during the making of Bree’s debut album, “A Cheap & Evil Girl” (Trauma), which featured the wryly-scripted, cult hit “David Duchovny (Why Won’t You Love Me)”, and Don’s critically praised, “The Lonestar Hitchhiker” (Universal). After completing work on what would have been Bree’s fourth solo release, the duo decided instead to scrap what was mostly a straight-forward acoustic album for a sound that incorporated whatever else was lying around the studio. Experimenting with an audio collage that had no restrictions, hi-fidelity not being the goal, what grew was a sci-fi based, fantasy, retro-twang-rock, pop-folk montage, perfectly highlighted on their debut EP, “Robots in Love“. Featuring the heart breaking and biting lyrics that Bree has become acclaimed for, and Don’s increasingly unique production and songwriting antics…for which he has been in great demand of late (see Jesse Malin‘s Love it to Life).
