Mosey up to the lounge, order a cocktail, and join us by the pool, will ya? Under the moniker The Jazzual Suspects, Oakland producer Charlie Tate has returned with his fifth full-length album inspired by Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz Series. Smooth, sultry, and seductive as a lolling tiger, Curvlinear applies live instrumentation and jazz-praising samples to concoct an orchestral paradise. Sweeping strings, oceanside guitar, bossa nova breaks, golden age hip hop beats, and everything else you could ever want out of a trip hop album. Out now on SF label Om Records.
