The Best Man EP

On this beautifully constructed and haunting EP, Chicago’s Bounte (working with Alan Ruffin and Catcher James) takes inspiration from author Colby Cuppernull’s short story collection, Best Man, capturing both the emotional exhaustion of the characters and the picaresque misery of the stories’ setting.

Bounte

Bounte weaves varied motifs and techniques into darkly emotive and uniquely structured songs that give listeners much to explore. Drawing inspiration from myriad music genres, field recordings, and productions, Bounte intricately sequences flowing beats, time juxtapositions, warped guitars, sweet orchestrations, and gnarly bass. The studious tracks force internal thought to meet the outside world, examine it from odd angles, and ultimately forge a new harmony from disparate ideas.
