Cassette

Beautiful California was originally released in the fall of 2005, but its continuously renewed significance warranted its re-release. While the majority of the tracks are under a minute long, Beautiful California contains 35 unique musical ideas for listeners to ponder. Cassette is the brainchild of Devin Smith, and emerged from an original bank of seventy tracks written and recorded in Smith's tiny room at the University of Miami. Smith halved this immense stockpile and created Beautiful California, a genre-bending collection of brief thoughts and feelings. For this reason, Cassette is advanced. Where the typical album only expresses a few different themes and ideas over 10 to 15 tracks, Cassette covers ample terrain-- perhaps reflecting an entirely new era in songwriting. Beautiful California is the product of genius, and whether you listen for simple pleasure, or to contemplate its massive significance, its always enjoyable.
