joining ottum on his solo debut are sufjan stevens' drummers and multi-instrumentalists james mcalister and casey foubert. the engineering was masterfully done in seattle and san diego by jon ervie (grant lee phillips, damien jurado, the presidents of the usa), casey foubert (pedro the lion, sufjan stevens) and josh himself. protected by an army of 5 drummers and a patriotically soulful horn section, 'like the season' harkens back to the sweet melodic days of 70's pop, i.e., stevie wonder and steely dan, randy newman. 'like the season' also keeps a foot firmly rooted in traditional classical composition techniques a la bach (the attentive listener can find reworked melodies and lyrics, i.e., theme and variation, throughout the record). there is also the not-so-apparent influence of such modern bands as the flaming lips, grandaddy and phoenix. but don't be mistaken, this is not a record of cheap rip-offs and retro throwbacks. these disparate elements have been critically examined and intricately assembled by ottum to fit perfectly into a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing musical living room. on tapete.
