Naarm (Melbourne, Australia)
Producer, composer and multi- instrumentalist Don Glori (AKA Gordon Li)
prepares to unleash his forthcoming album 'Don't Forget To Have Fun' via
DeepMatter Records.
Following the release of his much-heralded 2022 LP 'Welcome', and a relocation
to London, Don managed to tap into a potent creative current, by taking himself to
a place of discomfort, and taking his creative back to basics for 'Don't Forget To
Have Fun'. This invigorating approach helped distill the initial album sketches into
a compelling and intoxicating listening experience across the record, creating a
true work of art, traversing jazz, funk, soul, RnB, samba and beyond. Whilst the
record itself is hard to describe, but even harder to forget.
Album opener 'Pause' pairs psychedelic infuences with a cyclic loping groove
and focuses on recognising a safe space that can act as a refuge. Taking
inspiration from Steely Dan, Brian Bennett & Azymuth, 'Emerald' channels Jazz
rock, 70's LA studio energy, with the faster funk sections featuring an unruly
amount of mouth percussion, synth lead lines, and vocal melodies that weave in
and around the tight horn arrangements. 'All Seeds' is a heady blend of samba
and Brazilian street soul, with feld recordings of Don's old house in Melbourne
providing additional seasoning. 'First Touch' is a downtempo 80's boogie-infused
gem, keeping proceedings nice and sleazy. The fnal three movements move
through one fuid composition, charting the disorientating course of a fever
dream, through beguiling astral travels, unexplainable occurrences, and
transcendent moments.
A fusion of Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B & Samba
