Jason Dean And The Options – Cheap Rhapsody 7"
Jason Dean’s mystifying relationship with Victor Javier continues to bear brilliant musical fruit with this single. The two collaborate again (though rumor has it they communicated solely via telegram), and they do not disappoint. Jason Dean & the Options take you on a wild ride from Reynoldstown to the Crossroads via Bahia & Outerspace. This record is just as good for your hips as it is for your head. The A-side "Cheap Rhapsody" is equal parts Brazilian beats, heavy head spinning, and surreal tongue-in-cheeky intellectualism. The instrumental flipside, "Stop the Twilight Dearly", floats though the outer reaches of air, space, and time with all the sultry mellowness you need for an easy breezy good come down.
This band features members of the Selmanaires.
