After an awkward evening performing in front of two-timing ex-girlfriends and disloyal mates, what does one do? Well, in the case of multi-instrumentalist and producer Andy Dobson (who, since 1997, has been twiddling a variety of knobs and dazzling the electronic music community under the pseudonym Digitonal), you get "heroically drunk," find your old clarinet, and lay down 93 Years On, a selection from his acclaimed, sophomore effort Save Your Light for Darker Days
The track is a cosmic, smooth jazz beauty, with that dusty clarinet serving as protagonist, gently crying into an ethereal pillow over a methodical groove. Put another way, the realization of Dobson's lament is a lonesome, slow-motion stroll on Neptune.
This is exquisite, late-night fare, ideal for dreams of floating in space, or as a means to forget unwanted encounters.
