L.A. mainstay Dexter Story steps up with his debut album Seasons -- a collection of songs written by Dexter and co-produced by Carlos Niño, with guests from Los Angeles' close-knit jazz and soul community, including Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Dwight Trible, i_Ced, Gaby Hernandez, and many more. Progressing from their first two records together as the Life Force Trio, 2005's Dwight Trible and The Life Force Trio on Ninja Tune and 2006's Living Room on Plug Research, the constellation of conscious themes are all there, but the sound is very different. Leaving behind the beat soundscapes from producers such as Georgia Anne Muldrow, Ras G, Madlib and Sa-Ra, for Seasons Dexter Story looks instead to artists like Bill Withers, Steely Dan, Donovan, and Earth Wind & Fire, for a record that's just as cosmically-minded, but wrapped in the folk-y, blue-eyed soul that Carlos regularly plays on his weekly Spaceways radio show.
