about

New York producer SRCMTRL’s debut album is the spiritual and mental health relief we all need right now. From start to finish, La Vita è Bella is a meditation on lo-fi jazz, all dusty samples and laid-back percussion suitable for head nodding and introspection. But it’s also a release of tension and frustration in its chill vibes, which SRCMTRL delivers in spades through his wonderfully produced instrumentals.

The 11 tracks on this album are steeped in the music of the jazz giants who continue to inspire this burgeoning producer. From Sun Ra to Bill Evans to the Weather Report, SRCMTRL constantly digs through his crates and finds the musical glue to bring his thoughts together. It’s a process that stems from how he got into music in the first place. As he tells it, he found an old, beat up drumset on the curb one day and he taught himself how to play on it.

“Eventually I started piecing together samples, loops, drums, whatever worked,” SRCMTRL says. “I made tons of music just ‘cause I wanted to listen to it. Some of my people told me I should put it out, so here we are.”

La Vita è Bella is the work of someone who’s been tinkering and experimenting with their sound. It’s cohesive and to the point, never meandering or wandering too far from its initial goal: to deliver dope jazz-inspired boom-bap. And whether it’s through the dreamscapes of “Absolutely Incredible” or the brass and drums of “A Jazz Classic,” the album more than delivers on its goal.
