Some Infinities Are Larger Than Others by David Baron: EP Review
In โSome Infinities Are Larger Than Othersโ, David Baron heavily uses his collection of rare modular synths to create an amazing EP with the perfect combination of alternative, psych, classical, jazz, and rock music.
Fiona Glennโs wistful singing, Kevin Kadishโs psychedelic guitars, and David Baronโs synths and programming come together in โStardustโ, a tune that straddles the genres of alternative, space, and chill out. A Mini-Moog solo with delay combines retro and future sounds, and the songโs subject matter, love in a space fantasy, is explored in the lyrics. Donna Lewis sings on โStones in the Riverbedโ, which deals with the bonds we have with one another, and the music is lovely and melancholy.ย Alternative, psychedelic, and jazz converge in โBoy in the Lighthouseโ, which was inspired by Baronโs childhood memories of being brought to Montauk, New York. Don Byronโs saxophone and bass clarinet duet, Tani Tabbalโs percussion, and Baronโs eclectic instrumentation all contribute to the dreamlike sense of love and loss. Don Byron plays tenor saxophone and bass clarinet on โTwo Places At Onceโ, while Tony Levin plays bass, Tani Tabbal plays drums, and Baron plays synthesizer and rhodes. While listening to the song with friends, itโs like youโre having a nice chat over a cup of tea or a glass of whiskey. On the EPโs last track, โFather And Sonโ, an experimental ambient composition that also features violin, Rhodes piano, and synthesizer work by Oskar Baron, Davidโs 13-year-old son. The peaceful, uncomplicated mood it creates is a reflection of the father-son bond.
โSome Infinities Are Larger Than Othersโ is a resounding triumph for David Baron, and rightfully so, thanks to its impressive presentation of vocal-featured performances and expansive instrumentals.
