Brian Eno, John Cale, Dr. Dre, and Todd Rundgren are just a few music icons who started as band members, became producers and then went on to achieve solo success. If all these talented guys were able to produce offspring from a sweaty gang bang, they likely would have created our own Erik Blood. Blood, who started as a multi-instrumentalist with The Turn-Ons and whose work behind the boards in various capacities can be heard on records as diverse as the Moondoggies and Shabazz Palaces, has an upcoming solo record due this fall. Penetration musically explores pornography with rich, warm, Brit pop-ish tones, with the kind of depth and detail that Sufjan Stevens slathered on our seemingly boring-in-comparison fifty states. With Minirex, Watch It Sparkle, 1-2-1-2. MA’CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
