Double LP version. Originally released in 2021, Doom Jazz is reissued by Subsound Records. Using doom -- a slow, foreboding style of heavy metal -- as a template, Swami Lateplate crafts a set of songs that creeps along powerfully. The themes are simple, generally carried by subdued bass lines and ornamented by the piano like salt on a glacier. What jumps out most is Bobby Previte's drumming. Every cymbal vibration and snare snap leaps to the foreground and, with rare exception, decays before the next strike, as much a testament to Previte's assured playing as Jamie Saft's engineering. Regardless of the rock modeling, the disc is likely to satisfy Saft and Previte's audiences; it could appeal to fans of the fringes of metal as well. Entirely produced by Bobby Previte and Jamie Saft. Recorded and mixed by Jamie Saft at Frank Booth, Brooklyn, NY. Mastered by Scott Hull at Scott Hull Mastering, NY. The artwork was designed by Hadi Nasiri. Personel: Bobby Previte - trap drums; Jamie Saft - piano, organ, mellotron, electric bass.
