'Warm Blanket' is the third album from Mississippi songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dent May. Recorded in solitude in a reportedly haunted Victorian house by the bay in St. Augustine, Florida, the album arrives just barely a year after the release of his previous LP 'Do Things'. Dent's most ambitious undertaking yet, 'Warm Blanket' is another kaleidoscopic odyssey through the restless musical mind of a DIY pop auteur. He played almost all of the instruments on the album, making use of the house's antique grand piano and recruiting Florida locals to fill in on horns, strings, and pedal steel guitar. The result is an album of existential pop, psychedelic funk, and melancholy soul with soaring arrangements ripped from the pages of classic American songwriting.  Lyrically, Dent investigates life's timeless mysteries, touching on youth, mortality, alienation, and unrequited love with startling honesty and humour. A delightful mix of organic textures, analog synth squiggles, inventive vocal melodies, and sincere wordplay, 'Warm Blanket' is a bold step forward for an artist who shows no signs of slowing down.
