Having earned multiple prestigious best of 2018 mentions from the likes of WIRE Magazine and The Quietus, Ben LaMar Gay’s Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun is nevertheless more a greatesthits than any kind of debut. The LP consists of 15 tracks taken from 7 albums recorded over 7 years, none of which Gay had made the previous effort of releasing. We can’t imagine why; Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun is surely one of the most sure-headed and head-spinning avant garde jazz releases we’ve come across in the 21st century.
