Ian Mackintosh is a producer/engineer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist from Portland Known for his longtime collaboration with Ben Braun (Mackintosh Braun), Ian has just recently released the album Don’t Show This To Anyone which serves as both a fresh new calling card and a musical reintroduction of sorts. With heavy lifting from Jody Redifer on drums and a spattering of performances from some of his live band-mates (Matthew Gannon, Christian Hurd, and Michael Charles Smith), Don’t Show This... is an ivy-league offering of twelve 3-minute groove diggers that offer a pop-adjacent juxtaposition of style and substance, slick and saturated, retro-reverent and future-forward toe-tappers. As evident in the aptly-named knee-jerking first single “Energy”, Mackintosh has found and exploited the link between the modern home studio psychedelia of Tame Impala, the arena rock and/or roll swagger of The Rolling Stones, and the animated percussive outbursts of The Flintstones’ Bam Bam.

These influences merge seamlessly with her minimalist approach, creating meditative soundscapes that evoke both introspection and unease.
