Part Time - I Belong To You
I'm a little bit late on this release, but definitely worth a visit. While an active participant within Austin's garage rock scene (Dazzling king Solomon Band,Toko ri get high) as well as the Bay Area's Time Flys , David Speck unexpectedly released a handful of 4-track Casio synthpop sketches. These, as one would expect, left him reflecting on his direction and upon a more permanent relocation to San Francisco, Speck became Part Time. From his home in Tenderloin Heights, he now jams out that post-Cure pop, rubbed up flirtatious against West Coast surf and Krautrock grooves. His thick, sun-bleached songs are a murmur of sweet nothings amidst the buzz of city life; hip shaken with friends, longing eyes over crowded rooms, laughter along love emanating from cute voices in your radio… Part Time is, in other words, the sound of a man with his priorities in good order, inviting you to join him for a better time. You totally should.
