DAVE GUY – RUBY

Description

Big Crown Records presents Dave Guy’s debut album Ruby. Riffing on the vapour trails emitted from past collaborations with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lizzo, Pharrell, and Sharon Jones – and last but not least, a former membership of The Roots – Guy’s solo output is a testament to his fine skill as a blissful soul producer and composer. An homage to his home parish of Queens, New York, this record was recorded in the bottomless sonic quarry that is the Diamond Mine studio. Through anthemic trumpet lines, boxy but punchy hip-hop backings, two-chord guitar lilts and triplet-time detours, Guy weaves a intricate instrumental tapestry replete with double-folded hems and flourishing handwoven cadences, one that would surely make Arachne blush.
