MH-255 Pedro - You, Me & Everyone  Fresh off the triumph of Mush’s 2006 re-release of his self-titled debut (where he took the 2003 Melodic version back to the studio for a sonic overhaul), London’s mighty Pedro returns with You, Me & Everyone. While comparisons to artists like Four Tet and Minotaur Shock have been natural on his past releases, Pedro approaches this latest set of compositions in a way that continues to establish his unique take on folk and jazz based electronica. Free-jazz horn blasts ring out with new vigor, drums hit a bit harder, and Pedro continues to forge new elements into his song craft, even raising the ghosts of Liquid Liquid and A Certain Ratio on a track or two. Me, You & Everyone will surely be the album that secures Pedro a position among the game’s elite. |

| Manchester cut ‘n’ paster James Rultledge (aka Pedro) reckons the entire second album You, Me & Everyone came to him in a dream. An unlikely story, sure. But wait until you cast your ears over the record. This is wonderful, crazy stuff. Deft instrumental melodies and multicultural folk shatter into psychedelic, free jazz wig-outs, intricate hip hop-flavoured beats and stunning, searing flashes of cacophony. Think of The Avalanches, Caribou, Fourtet, Prefuse and Animal Collective. A surreal and boundlessly eclectic effort. - MAG |
