Art Between Minds

LA-based composer/arranger E. Lundquist (aka Eric Borders) returns with ‘Art
Between Minds’. Having cut his teeth in the LA hip-hop and beats scene and
explored realms of cosmic-funk under previous monikers, E. Lundquist’s music
displays a rich tapestry of influences including the cinematic and experimental jazz-
infused library music that influenced his previous LP ‘Multiple Images’. Now he is
back with another ample helping of his hallucinogenic sonics, utilizing a bevy of
vintage gear to replicate that warm glow of ’70s jazz-funk. From the Fender Rhodes
MKI to the ARP Odyssey, to the Mellotron, the keys and synths he employs on these
tracks display a genuine appreciation for the groove-driven music of The ‘Me”
Decade.

The album plays like the score to a cult classic B-movie. The sun-drenched haze of
“Soliloquy” could easily be what you hear during the calm before the storm in a
Blaxploitation flick and the laidback crawl of “Euphoria” seems ripped right out of a
fuzzy ‘70s blue movie. But there is a certain sophistication here, like the way the
horn section, slinky guitar, and trippy synths combine on “Escape” to sound like
liquid one moment and like a summer breeze the next.
