Francis Harris (aka Adultnapper) released the first album using his real name.
The record called Leland was out in 2012 via the Brooklyn-based label Scissor And Thread. Much of the album was composed in the year after the passing of Harris’ father after whom the record is named and to whom it is dedicated.
The principle is simple: a dynamic deep house, jazz rants, relaxing voice. But appearances are deceiving. Seeing it as a drive into deep house lounge would be unfair, if not contempt.
Leland breathe in each moment takes time to install. The idle setting.
From 'Pensum' it captures the content of Francis Harris. It is a calling for non-aggression in the deep-house jazz dub hints. Trumpet, muted, becomes an insidious analgesic.
You do not just listen. Now, you feel, you vibrate and you succumb extreme smoothness of the 'Living Lips', brought by a distant piano and cello resigned.
Similarly, the body is crossed by the neurasthenia of 'Of The Field', ode to a tutelary evanescence.

The alchemy of the album lies in the duality perfectly domesticated between electronic presence and use of live instruments. The instability does not make sense, everything seems perfectly follow suit.
It reminds us the dynamic cool jazz, too often forgotten when it is not squeezed
In the case of Francis Harris, it is only question of retention and deletion, disinterested and casual master!
