The Dave Douglas album Overcome is featured on the Bandcamp Daily blog!

In his piece “Albums Recorded Remotely During the Pandemic,” writer George Grella profiles six new releases recorded at a distance. In his feature on Overcome, he really gets the spirit of the music:

Douglas has always been responsive to social and political conditions, and while the politics of the past year inform songs like “We Shall Overcome” and “Good Trouble, for John Lewis,” there was the imperative to damn the limits of isolation and make music, no matter what. Despite recording their parts individually and passing the files back and forth over the internet, the sextet, including vocalists Fay Victor and Camila Meza, are so fluid and responsive one might never know this record’s extraordinary circumstances.
