People really don’t give Long Island the credit their brave residents deserve. Some of the acts we’ve learned to love today hail from New York City’s largely ignored but super rad cousin, Long Island.
Straight out of Baldwin (and straight into my heart) comes Long Island’s newest sensation, Bdee.
Bdee, also known as Brian Donaldson, is a one man wonder. After acquiring a guitar, then a bass, then a keyboard, then a drum machine, and then and then and then, Bdee’s mastered the art of performing, recording and producing his own tracks over the past 12 years.
Recently signed to New York’s Dinosaurs in Vietnam Recording, Bdee’s had his Stories EP re-released and available for a free download on the label’s site. Dinos also pulled from the thousands upon thousands of Bdee’s best tracks to create an all new compilation: Best of Bdee 2001-2004.
From first to last, each track is like nothing you’ve ever heard. Bdee successfully manages to shake you, break you, and leave you wanting more, more and more. Step aside Ariel Pink, here comes Bdee, new weird America’s fresh new face.
