The recordings involving inimitable Georgia-born, New York-based drummer
Deantoni Parks have covered a multitude of styles, all of them progressive in approach. He has been a member of new wave contortionists
Kudu and art rockers
Bosnian Rainbows. As a recording and performing drummer, he has worked with a broad scope of artists that includes
Yohimbe Brothers,
Alice Smith,
Me'Shell Ndegeocello,
the Mars Volta,
John Cale, and
Flying Lotus.
Parks has also found time to produce material under his own name, which ranges from high-powered synth pop instrumentals to chopped-up beatscapes.
Touch But Don't Look was released in 2012 through RLP, operated by frequent collaborator
Omar Rodríguez-López.
