'"Indian Sumner" signals the return to the forefront of one of music's most gifted chameleons, DJ Record Player (nee young cartoonist Benjamin Birdie). Without a release since 2000's embarrassment of MTV Music Generated riches, "Indian Sumner" is both a return to familiar territory and a complete and total reimagination of DJ Record Player's style and sensibilities. Made completely with Apple's newly minted GarageBand software, he mercifully avoids the use of any of the three oft-repeated "RnB Horn Section" samples that have plagued the work of so many users of the program. Evocative, haunting, and melodic, "Indian Sumner" is once of January's most remarkable homemade singles.
