Album: Early Riser 

Label: Brainfeeder 

Genre: Electronica, soul, jazz

Comments: From the promoter: "Early Riser is the first full-length from Brooklyn-based producer, composer, pianist, DJ, and multi-instrumental musician Taylor McFerrin, out on Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder label. Drawing inspiration from '60s and '70s soul, golden era hip hop, free-form jazz, and contemporary electronica, McFerrin crafts thoughtful and meditative rhythms. The result is a dreamy, intensely beautiful record reminiscent of a chilled-out Flying Lotus or a revved-up Shlohmo. With guest vocals from Nai Palm (of Hiatus Kaiyote), Emily King, labelmate RYAT, and Taylor's father Bobby McFerrin, Early Riser plays host to an impressive collection of new voices in neo-soul."
