Today, the Resavoir crew highlight the twilight of summer with a bittersweet banger by friend of the band Kevin Rhomberg. Rhomberg – better known by his producer name Knox Fortune – delivers a remix of “Future” from Resavoir’s second self-titled album Resavoir, underpinning the tune’s soulful sax lead (performed by Irvin Pierce) with a high tempo house rhythm that’s proper for the city that all the above call home, Chicago.

Knox Fortune has been a comrade and collaborator of Resavoir bandleader Will Miller since atleast 2017. Prior to then and aside from mutual friends, both had done guest spots with Chance the Rapper when Knox invited Miller to add horns to his debut album Paradise (as well as the 2020 followup Stock Child Wonder). Miller in turn had Knox do some drum programming on Resavoir’s 2019 self-titled debut album Resavoir. The two stay close to the day (clearly), not only sharing remix work but also sharing the occasional dip in Lake Michigan.

Before it’s too late and summer fully slips away… Listen to Knox Fortune’s remix of Resavoir’s “Future” here.

Written and produced over three years beginning in April 2020, the eleven effervescent songs of the latest Resavoir LP feature a vibrant cast of collaborators from the Chicago music community, including Akenya, Matt Gold, Eddie Burns, Lane Beckstrom, Jeremy Cunningham, Irvin Pierce, Macie Stewart, Peter Manheim, Elton Aura, Whitney and more.

The core songs of Resavoir are ear-pleasing but deeply-layered studio constructions, demonstrating the astute production-craft that Miller’s sharpened over recent work with Knox Fortune and SZA (on top of his already-lengthy resume that includes work with Mac Miller, Chance the Rapper, Saba and Lil Wayne). Other pieces were built from free, group improvisations recorded in the empty lot next to Miller’s Humboldt Park apartment during the pandemic. And others are delightfully fleeting vignettes, compositionally elegant but only slightly more polished than demos, reflecting Miller’s intent on capturing the moment of discovery and embracing what gives music its vulnerable, human qualities.

All together, the new Resavoir corrals a broad diversity of sound, inter-weaving modern-day soul-jazz, bedroom beats, synth serenades and twilight sonatas into a subtly radiant symphony. Listen & Purchase Resavoir here.
