Team B



As Kelly Pratt came up with the B Team project, he pulled together his strings tying him to Beirut, Arcade Fire and finalizing the knot with LCD Soundsystems. One cannot say he blended each and every influence he experienced in the last two years while he has been touring around with Arcade Fire and Beirut, since you can pick out which band he was influenced from for each song in the B Team album. "No Purchase Necessary" bounces between LCD Soundsystem and the harsh rhythms of Arcade Fire, whereas "Mystery Man" and "My Papa Waltz" create the expectation to hear Zach Condon in the background form the first note on. Whatever the mess, the outcome is definitely rhapsodic. And Kelly Pratt is definitely a one to watch for.
