Listening Party

After 2 long years of work, it's finnnnallly time to share Bobbyy's debut album 'Buckets' with you all. Come hang in the chat, grab a drink, have a smoke, and celebrate with me. Luv yall.

About the artist - Bobbyy is a producer, drummer, and DJ based in Los Angeles. Known for his work with Seattle bands sunking and High Pulp, Bobbyy has worked with everyone from Jeff Parker and MonoNeon to Pink Siifu and AKAI Solo.

2024 sees Bobbyy stepping out with his debut album ‘Buckets’. Made almost entirely on his Elektron Digitakt, 'Buckets' is an homage to his deep love of Chicago House a la Larry Heard, alongside raw, sample-based production reminiscent of Madlib or Daedelus, all the while basking in 808’s.

EARLY REVIEWS OF BUCKETS - LA-via-Seattle musician/producer Robert Granfelt (aka Bobbyy) drums for the excellent, eclectic groups High Pulp and sunking. With them, he's a whirlwind of limbs, gracefully guiding his bandmates through complex jazz, funk, fusion, and hip-hop maneuvers.

On his debut solo album under the handle Bobbyy, Buckets, Granfelt manifests a sensual, heavy-lidded vibe throughout while creating genre-fluid tracks that you wish would last longer. An unexpected submersion into hip-house, the low-riding "Thence I Arrived on a Foreign Shore" glazes and blazes with sotto-voce, raunchy raps by Pink Siifu and STAS Thee Boss. "Movement" is chill-inducing, funky dub with metallic percussion and earth-moving bass pressure, giving off ominous tremors reminiscent of illbient producers Sub Dub.

The lo-fi jazz-funk fantasia "Future Landlords" should make Flying Lotus and Madlib take note. The mutedly radiant "I Was at the Fence" proves that Bobbyy can do R&B, too, bolstered by a hushed, pretty vocal by Rachel Lime. "The Mother, the Child, & the Magazine" manifests oneiric funkadelia that'll make your neurons breakdance.

The new single "It Knows the Bliss Is Treacherous" reflects Bobbyy's knack for engendering keyboard swirls beneath sensuous, intricate beats. Sly seduction's the overarching theme here and elsewhere on Buckets, where whispers resonate harder than screams and every rhythm beckons you to the bedroom. If you can't get laid to this foxy, fusion-y music, it's not Bobbyy's fault. - Dave Segal (The Stranger) ... more
