someone else - pen caps and colored pencils

someone else pen caps and colored pencils [foundsound-14] double vinyl [foundsound-cd01] cd release date: late may 2007
following several acclaimed eps, philadelphia's someone else (sean o'neal) dropped the first two releases on his own foundsound label in 2004. once his tracks became heavily played by the international trendsetting djs we love so much, someone else turned himself into a producing machine and pumped out a countless array of tracks that incorporate his unique sound design -- and with so many remixes under his belt, one might say he's the armand van helden of the minimal scene. several of his tracks and remixes have been featured on mix-cds by djs like richie hawtin, marco carola, steve bug, adam beyer, frank lorber and many others. we now give you pen caps and colored pencils -- the debut album for both someone else as well as foundsound. the 12-tracker offers a more developed side of someone else. and whether it's mumbling, chanting or downright singing, his own voice is often disfigured and sparsely scattered throughout the album. tracks like "play it kershaw" and "threadbare snare" offer a more stripped-down, tracky and dj-friendly side of his goofball minimalism. "pooty call" is a dark and moving clickhouse gut-stretcher. "funky fromage" and "mi lápiz es amarillo" offer an electro side to the witty frolic. and ditties like "family unties" and "oh sean" (both cd only) dive deep into submerged dubby-ness and laid-back psychedelia. on pen caps and colored pencils, someone else finally brings his unique, organic, sampladelic style to cd for all electronic music fans, whether they're shaking their booty in a club or listening at home.
