Fancily named Raleigh Moncrief (not “Moncrief the 3rd,” somehow) has officially been signed to anticon. After establishing himself as an important behind-the-scenes player over the last few years — playing guitar on tour with Marnie Stern, releasing obscure vinyl releases with Zach Hill, earning a co-producer credit on the 2009 Dirty Projector’s album Bitte Orca — the California-based artist/producer’s anticon. signing comes in preparation of the release of his solo outing, Watered Lawn, out October 25.
Joining likeminded artists Baths and Dosh, Moncrief’s debut should fit in nicely with the label’s current roster of artists riding the chillwave of slightly hard-edged yet dreamy electronica that’s all the rage right now. Get ready to say you knew of him when!
