Seeking members for experimental R&B/indie dance band

Description
Hey Craigslist, I'm a guitarist seeking a bassist, vocalist, and producer for an experimental R&B/funk project. More specifically a mix of neo-soul, ambient, hip hop beats, etc. Ideally members will be open-minded and willing to be involved in the songwriting process and want to initially focus on composing and recording music. We'll get a drummer later down the line when we're playing shows and (hopefully) covid's over. If you're a drummer who's comfortable writing music though, message me anyway! Influences for this project include Yves Tumor, Dreamcrusher, Dean Blunt, Let's Eat Grandma, Massive Attack, Deantoni Parks, Flying Lotus (and way more, but these are the main ones) examples: https://youtu.be/FU65VaNeLeM?t=60 https://youtu.be/0fE_8OhLPpg?t=62 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU7iAgVE7Og Serious project - not expecting us to make a lifelong career out of it obviously, but I'd like for us to at least have a cult following and be touring and playing shows on the regular. I have a producer in Nashville whom I've worked with in the past. He works for Universal Music and he's great - definitely want to record our material with him. Cool with collaborating in-person or virtually. Once we're ready to play shows I'll get us a practice space. Also I'm planning on us having an androgynous/glam aesthetic. No problem if you don't want to look glam/drag-y on stage, just as long as you're comfortable with everyone else looking like that. You'll probably like playing in this band if: Bassist: you're comfortable with jazzy/funky basslines, accidentals, etc. Producer: You're comfortable with ambient stuff, hip hop & drum n' bass beats. Vocalist: You're cool with singing (and possibly writing) pop and possibly gospel-y melodies. That's it, really. Don't care about age, gender, sexual orientation, etc. About me: I'm a guy. 24 yo Have played in several bands and gigged in multiple states. I play guitar and sing - have been for maybe 8 years? Favorite groups are Yves Tumor, Stooges, Swans Thanks!
