Song of the Day - February 24, 2006

His Name Is Alive is another studio project by Warren Defever. His latest album, Detrola, as the name suggests, was recorded in Detroit and is a mixture of styles, from the 70's era Steely Dan sound of "I Though I Saw," to the electro-pop leanings of "In My Dream." However, my favorite track is "After I Leave U," which mixes early 80's influences like Yaz, Human League, and one of my favorites D.A.F. I especially like how the synthesizer intensity level reaches an almost frantic pitch, while the vocals have an almost calm, chilly feel to them. Click here to listen.
