Looking at Little People

Little People, in all seriousness, is neither little nor “peopled”, in the plural sense of the word.  Rather, it’s one dude with a big sound.  The one-man, trip-hop icon derives his inspiration from all things classic(al) — whether it be Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata (cue “Moon”) or old school funk (cue “Above the Clouds”), Little People’s music simultaneously preserves and elaborates on musical canons of several genres.  It’s like ancestor worship in avant garde form: pay respect to your forefathers by making trippy muses of them.  Download half of Little People’s album, Mickey Mouse Operation, gratis here and his EP, Bits & Pieceshere.
