Disruptor Records
Producers: Jack Rutter, Eric Conley, Christopher Peranich
Spooneristically named and Utah-born Ritt Momney welcomed his third studio album with BASE, a record that recontextualizes Momney’s singer-songwriter voice in the electric now. Nothing’s unfounded in this album: for any moment of amped up, distorted bass, there’s an inciting kick beat; if there’s autotune, his vocals are clear enough to survive the melding process. While the album features moments of electropop ilk, it’s a record born in the acoustic world. It can be a little too noncommittal at times; when it’s slow, it really drags. But when it chooses a side between gentle or roaring, it hits its stride.
