The saying ‘always the bridesmaid, never the bride’ doesn’t apply to songwriter/producer/trumpeter/Awesomeface Eric Biondo. Not content to back up musicians from bands including TV on the Radio and Passion Pit, Biondo has carved a unique alias for himself with his ongoing project Beyondo. From towering vocalist and cornetist, Eric reveals himself a master of merging divergent genres from Baroque classical to Ivory Coast afrobeat.
Now coming off his unexpectedly ambitious full-length ‘Siren Science’ from earlier this year, he returned early August with a new single ‘Come Around’ that leaps off a walking bassline, showcasing a round of vocals suitable for any cookout/fireside jamboree. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
