Claude says:Jimmy LaValle's solo project out of San Diego layers Rhodes piano, synthesizers, and drum machines into instrumental post-rock that feels cinematic and quietly emotional. Forward / Return leans into spacious, atmospheric builds — tracks like "Skylines" and "Dark Becomes Light" unfold slowly, while "Low Down" and "Descent" hit a little harder without losing that hazy, contemplative edge. You grabbed onto it in October 2012, kept a handful of songs in rotation through a brief 2016 comeback, then let it drift.
