"An elegant, electronic solo debut." Time Out (4/5)

"One devoutly hopes for a 'SUM/TWO'." The Sunday Times

"An intriguing sprawl." Financial Times (4/5)

"As an intense, intriguing personal statement it's powerful." The Arts Desk (4/5)

"By being both coherent and pleasingly unhinged, bEEdEEgEE more than fills the role of cosmic dance music vacated by Gang Gang Dance." The Line Of Best Fit (8/10)

“A hazy, post-R&B solo workout.” The Observer

SUM/ONE, the debut solo album from bEEdEEgEE is released today.  

The moniker of Brian DeGraw of Gang Gang Dance, the record features tracks with Lovefoxxx, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, Douglas Amour, and Lizzi Bougatsos.  Written and recorded over the course of a year in his Woodstock studio, the W0RMB1N, SUM/ONE initially began life when Brian left New York City – his home for the past fifteen years – for the clouds of Woodstock. Amidst the peace of this new environment, the audio sketches he worked on gradually evolved into a project that fuses deep synth soundscapes with audacious pop moments.

bEEdEEgEE's SUM/ONE is out now.  Full tracklisting can be found here.
