Having finally reached a state of exhaustion, I'm incapable of hearing any kitsch or weirdness in the DIY synth funk of Jeff Phelps. Just some tender diva-ing and a drum machine that understands every shade of the song's emotion.
A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.
