New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The PBDY (pronounced Peabody) releases a brand new single "Eucalyptus & Lavender / So Help Me (DOG)" via Brainfeeder, as the LA-based producer and DJ prepares to head out on a 33 date tour across North
America with the label's founding father Flying Lotus. The track features Jeff Parker (of pioneering post-rock outfit Tortoise) on guitar,
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on viola and Justin Brown (Thundercat, Ambrose Akinmusire) on drums.
Paul has been the resident selector/DJ at the heart of the Brainfeeder family for nearly 8 years, hosting radio shows, building DJ mixes, rocking label showcases, instores, afterparties and touring worldwide with Thundercat,
Flying Lotus and The Cinematic Orchestra. A self-confessed music fanatic, his inestimable and seemingly inexhaustible passion for new sounds is utterly infectious. He established his label TAR in 2013, creating a platform to share his favourite experimental sounds sourced from lesser known acts as far afield as Asia, Australia and Russia.
It was simply a matter of time before his energy shifted from musical curation to creation. In 2017 PBDY linked with Jeremiah Jae under the moniker JP Moregun for a moody, psych-heavy rap mixtape on Brainfeeder. It was PBDY's first outing in the role of producer. 2018 saw PBDY make his solo debut on Brainfeeder, contributing the eerily beautiful "
Bring Me Down" (featuring vocals by his friend and labelmate Salami Rose Joe Louis) to the label's 10th anniversary compilation Brainfeeder X.
"Eucalyptus & Lavender / So Help Me (DOG)" is out now on Brainfeeder.
