New Donny Benet single

[Belka]

 

This is superb - great song with a sublime bassline.

It sounds like a late '70s Jazz to me - have been chasing this tone for a while.

 

[acidbass]

Fantastic!

[Japhet]

Where can I get one of those suits?

[spencer.b]

Looks like he uses a Fodera PJ with Aguilar pups

[Crusoe]

I never knew that Willie Thorne could sing...

[Acebassmusic]

That's great. Never heard of him before. Seems very tongue in cheek but he really can play bass......

Aside from the nice basses (I can see a vintage Smith in the video posted above), he has a collection of rare vintage synths and drum machines, so all those early '80s sounds are really authentic.

Genuine question, because I can't tell - is this played straight faced, or is he a supremely talented musician electing to use a comedy persona?

More of the latter I think - it's definitely a persona (Donny Benet is not his real name), but I think he's serious about the music.

His next album comes out 2024 , can't wait

It's good but that production is still not as lush as anything from the early 80's which I presume is the time its trying to emulate. Proof tape and old school studio skill are a rare thing.
