MH-255 Pedro - You, Me & Everyone  Fresh off the triumph of Mush’s 2006 re-release of his self-titled debut (where he took the 2003 Melodic version back to the studio for a sonic overhaul), London’s mighty Pedro returns with You, Me & Everyone. While comparisons to artists like Four Tet and Minotaur Shock have been natural on his past releases, Pedro approaches this latest set of compositions in a way that continues to establish his unique take on folk and jazz based electronica. Free-jazz horn blasts ring out with new vigor, drums hit a bit harder, and Pedro continues to forge new elements into his song craft, even raising the ghosts of Liquid Liquid and A Certain Ratio on a track or two. Me, You & Everyone will surely be the album that secures Pedro a position among the game’s elite. |

| Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe it. Pedro throws his immense musical knowledge in a blender on his newest album for Mush. Shades of Four Tet percussion conflict with glockenspiel, flutes,and dozens of other instruments. Especially horns. I hope you like horns. This is the case of a talented musician putting it all on the table, and I love it. This will draw an immediate comparison to Yppah's record from a couple years ago if you heard it, not because it's very similar, but because the approach is so "more is more". I'm convinced you can't fit more sounds on a record than this, yet I surely wouldn't want Pedro to take anything away here. It's like surveying a tightly packed suitcase; you don't want to take anything out because it's such a marvel at how you got it all in there. - The Music Lobby |
