Mean Bacharach: Sacrifice
Briefly

LA house producer Seven Davis Jr. channels his battles with depression, PTSD, and sobriety into his album 'Sacrifice', released under his new moniker, Mean Bacharach. Originally recorded in 2018 during a tour, the album features deep, soulful house sounds alongside abstract compositions. Davis's music reflects his journey of self-improvement and score-settling, often addressing personal rivals and noncommittal partners. With tracks blending various influences, 'Sacrifice' emerges as an anthem of resilience, leveraging introspective moments against a backdrop of experimental soundscapes.
Davis usually makes deep, soulful vocal house, filled with pneumatic percussion, warm '70s analog textures, and washes of garbled vocals.
Funny it took falling to the depths of rock bottom to finally realize this project deserves to see light.
Davis's vitriol extends to childhood rivals on 'High School Reunion', showcasing themes of self-improvement and score-settling.
