Out of Your Head
Any recording that contains a track titled “Rewind Fee” has a substantial bit of throwback in its spirit, and that’s the case, the latest from fast-rising bassist Nick Dunston. But the era that Dunston evokes predates videocassettes and the arcane rules of the shops that rented them.
