Piano Overlord – Tease EP

Less dense than his Prefuse 73 and even Savath & Savalas material, Piano Overlord unveils yet another side of the remarkably gifted Scott Herren, even if the project’s acoustic sound sometimes drinks melodically and rhythmically from the Prefuse well. Interestingly enough, the project originated by way of error, specifically Herren losing material that prevented him from giving Money Studies a promised Diplo remix. To compensate, Herren created for the label entirely new Piano Overlord material using non-synthesized keyboards and drums, though in a deliberately more restrained fashion than his norm.
