Alongside his successful producing, Raleigh also puts out some of his own magical musical seed.<br \/>\nRaleigh Moncrief\u2019s music is a love child of James Blake and Sufjan Stevens\u2019 <em>Age of Adz<\/em> side, and I don\u2019t think you can argue with that. Raleigh has released EPs in the past, but this is his first full length. <em>Watered Lawn<\/em>, out on Anticon Records, is really bringing his name out there. Alongside his career in music, Moncrief also does film work and makes his own crazy psychedelic music videos, creating an entire world for the listener to explore. With songs moving from mellow instrumentals to upbeat electronic drum tracks, sumptuous vocals to classy flamenco guitar riffs all morphing into a sound that is all his own.<br \/>\nBands these days have a way of sounding alike. I\u2019m not saying Raleigh is one of his own kind, but he certainly has created something unique and magical.
