Australia’s Dan Webb could be considered the country’s Bonobo with his maximalist approach to orchestral electronica and psychedelic electro-jazz. His newest track “Drifter” is part Bonobo’s Black Sands or some of the work of Blockhead. The strings push the calming track into the stratosphere, adding to the halcyon feel.
Dan Webb’s music exists in a state of constant evolution. Since emerging with his debut EP in 2009, he has gleefully erased the lines between genres, combining psychedelic atmospheres, electronic experimentation and classic songwriting into a kaleidoscopic sound all his own.
He has just released an accompanying visualizer for the new track “Drifter,” and hopes to announce a new album in the coming months. Rumours speculate that he worked with a few other collaborators for the upcoming fourth album, including the likes of Greg Saunier of Deerhoof.
