Low End Love Songs is the latest record from bucket-hatted, red-ballied soul and funk multi-instrumentalist Pale Jay. The songwriter and crooner aims for a square lot of humility (although his talents might in some respect leave him without need of it) on this new nine-tracker, musing on personal transformation and maturation through the simmering one, two-steps of retro soul and pop production. Commanding an impressive instrumental nostalgia - filtered, detuned, sustained Hammonds; high-tamed drum hits; boosted piano solos; organic bass layers serving a scooped-out headroom in which Jay's jellied vocals can neatly fit - this record plays out like the sonic equivalent of a time-flecked painting, not shunning but embracing opportunities for moments of absentia and mystery, formally spurring us to ask the central question, "who is he? where is he from? what next?".
