n
These
Times
is
a
collection
of
polytemporal
compositions
inspired
as
much
by
broader
cultural
struggles
as
McCraven’s
personal
experience
as
a
product
of
a
multinational,
working
class
musician
community.
With
contributions
from
over
a
dozen
musicians
and
creative
partners
from
his
tight-knit
circle
of
collaborators
–
including
Jeff
Parker,
Junius
Paul,
Brandee
Younger,
Joel
Ross,
and
Marquis
Hill
–
the
music
was
recorded
in
five
different
studios
and
four
live
performance
spaces
while
McCraven
engaged
in
extensive
post-production
work
at
home.
Featuring
orchestral,
large
ensemble
arrangements
interwoven
with
the
signature
“organic
beat
music”
sound
that’s
become
his
signature,
the
album
is
an
evolution
and
a
milestone
for
McCraven,
the
producer.
But
moreover,
it’s
the
strongest
and
clearest
statement
we’ve
yet
to
hear
from
McCraven,
the
composer.
