Searching for a Limousine by Famous Enough

One of the most exciting aspects of discovering a new underground artist is the complete lack of expectation when hearing their music for the first time. In this regard, Searching for a Limousine by Famous Enough was a particularly delightful listening experience, with each track unfolding to reveal more experimentation and a complete disregard for genre boundaries.

Searching for a Limousine is a matryoshka doll of experimental electronica, funk, jazz, psychedelic rock, reggae, soul, world music, and more. Despite such a wide range of influence, this continually self-transforming record is surprisingly cohesive, with each track embodying a groovy tropical vibe that feels perfect for the dog days of summer. Funky bass riffs, bongos, and tambourines are accented with flourishes of jungle house beats, takadimi rhythm samples, and occasional scat melodies. These examples may seem like a bizarre contrast, but instead, this mostly instrumental album is a complementary melting pot. Famous Enough wields each component masterfully to glide between genres with ease.

For the adventurous listener, Searching for a Limousine serves as a roadmap through a twisting and turning series of sounds. And executed with thoughtful attention to detail, this unique album is sure to have something for everybody.
