Label: Second Nature Recordings

Nearly a decade ago, Denver rock veterans Jme White and Mike Behrenhausen created a number of home-recorded experimental tracks that eventually found their way to Second Nature Recordings. The Kansas City label not only released the duo’s debut album, 2003’s Go Slowly All the Way Round the Outside, but its 2005 follow-up, The Metapolitan, as well. Working as Blusom, White and Behrenhausen craft melodic electronic music padded with layers of acoustic instrumentation; White lays down each track’s bedrock with beats, keyboards and whatever else he may find laying around, while vocalist Behrenhausen contributes lyrics to the mix. Rather than devolve into a predictable clash of digital-versus-organic, Blusom’s songs stand apart as a seamless blend of these two seemingly disparate elements.
