Portraits | Spissy

"SPISSY (Bloomington, IN) is the rare and obvious duo of Aaron Denton and Ben Lumsdaine. I say "obvious" because they fit together and compliment one another so well, their creative pairing seems almost inevitable. Aaron's ability to craft a delightful, memorable hook alongside Ben's penchant for arrangement, vibe, and skill makes Spissy an absolutely satisfying listen. "Rare", because what draws these two dudes together seems hard to find; a studious, almost aggressive, attraction and ambition toward moderation. That is to say, every piece of this record, even and especially the riskier bits, has been carefully considered and measured. Every synth sound and every rhythm is the right choice. Each unexpected turn and gratifying conclusion hits precisely the right spot. "

I've had the pleasure of knowing Kel for nearly ten years and have truly enjoyed watching her grow as an individual and a songwriter.  Kel released her full length album "Skin and Bones" in 2013 just before moving to Nashville, Tennesse from Indianapolis.  She recently released her new EP "Nightfall" and you don't want to miss it.  I was thrilled to be able to work with her on this project.  So much time, love, and care went into the making of this EP and it is very evident when you listen to it.
