PRICE takes a gauzy approach to things. At times, those things can feel like a little too much for the moment. Then, like a hasty realization, it happens to be a little too late once that juncture is crossed. His oeuvre is adorned by such provocations, insinuating a fleeting past with the present. These moments persist through his attempts at sincerity, detected in a sudden change of mind or as inner dialogue or played out in a call-and-response. They are moments to be performed in an imagined overhead scenario. The scenario, here, is one of constant redress, like the angel and devil trope, whispering indications into the listener’s left and right ear. PRICE’s self-released album titled, Little Too Late starts with a whim and arrives into a full-blown scene. The overture, ‘Adjust’ suggests what’s to come, making amends with the little-toosomething else. The ballad is alluring, opens with folkish strumming, then abruptly moves into distortion contained by well-tempered repetition. His signature vocalization is imminent throughout every track. PRICE’s own practice and process in singing succumbs to expressive ciphers for the listener, something else is occurring beyond any syntactic obstruction of language. The project ends with, ‘Back To Me Now’ a final hint to the so-called full-blown circuit of too much, too little, and more than this.

Instrumentation is intact to accompany PRICE’s voice, alternating brash projectile textures with the agile quality of string and piano-laden melodies. Lyrics appear throughout the work, only as an experiment in songwriting, layered over the previously more phonetic collaborations between PRICE and the many acts he invites into his projects. Here, for this release, he packages what has emerged from ongoing collaborations with pop singer and songwriter Cecile Believe, artist and producer MODULAW, composer and artist Tobias Koch, and pianist-composer Sebastian Hirsig. This release also features guitarist Federico Capon and a track composed and produced by Renato Grieco (’70%’).

This release affectionately marks the course that each collaboration has taken, as sought-after, cast back, and a little too late. PRICE’s newest nine-tracked release is a tender balancing act. In between disparities, too much, and too late, the project is wholly characterized by variety, song, and spectacle. —written by Jazmina Figueroa
