Yeah, I’m taking it back a few years and rockin the Kid Cudi. I know you love “Pursuit Of Happiness” too, so let’s crank it and raise one high to good times.
There resides within the music of Air Tycoon poetry aplenty. Epic tomes stitched through with canticles and the laughter of mermaids frolicking amongst whitecaps and the cry of seagulls. There are arias too, beleaguered and redolent with beauteous moods, and deep within these sounds swirls nautiluses and the gossamer breath of long-winded eternity. Joe Garcia bka Air Tycoon is a young architect of audibles trills, an apprentice of the highest order, and he erects sonic edifices with little effort, yet with much meaning in the heart of the listener. I can only bow my head and offer a soul-felt thanks you. Peace. Continue reading “Air Tycoon / / Land Locked”
Orbital are brothers Paul Hartnoll and Phil Hartnoll. They are intergalactic electronic music time travelers come to save us from ourselves one funky beat at a time. Who says nothing cool never came out of Sevenoaks, England? Not I. Rock it. Peace. Continue reading “Orbital // New France (L-Vis 1990’s Rewound Mix) + Straight Sun *Video”
San Diego/Long Beach band Delta Spirit is Jon Jameson, Brandon Young, Matthew Vasquez, Kelly Winrich, and Will McLaren, but they are much more than a bunch of guys banging drums and wrenching the blood, sweat and tears from guitars and other instrumentation. They are more than songs shot through with intensity and a hefty dose of gilded sweetness. These guys are the kind of band you listen to when you want to go home, grab a beer and shed all the bullshit of the day and just chill out. You listen but you don’t really listen, you absorb the quaint melodies and let the music settle around your ears like wood smoke, and the vocals of Matthew Vasquez can work tenseness out of you like a master masseuse on top of their game. Listen to the entire self-titled album Delta Spirit at www.deltaspirit.net. Honorable mentions, the very first song “Empty House”, “California”, “Into The Darkness” and my favorite “Otherside” with its sexy Bossa Nova structure. Make no mistake, these aren’t the only gems, there are 11 of them. Let me know which ones you fall to pieces listening to. By the by, you can get the FREE DOWNLOAD of the track “California” on the bands’ Facebook Fan Page. Peace. Continue reading “Delta Spirit / / Self-Titled Album Delta Spirit”
Tim Presley sheds his punk persona with his side-project White Fence to delve into something more rustic and dusted with 60’s folk/rock cool. It’s a pleasant mix of Bob Dylan meets The Beatles. Basically, it’s something old made new again and that is as much a compliment as I can come up with right now. And by the way, I’m sending this one out to a fellow Beatles fan, Ms. Aston E. and if your reading this I hope you smile a mile wide. Peace. Continue reading “White Fence / / It Will Never Be”
According to his label Sub Pop Spoek Mathambo, “Spoek Mathambo makes the Afro-futurists look old school. With the arrival of his second album, Father Creeper, he’s one man building up an army to make his creative visions a reality, rewriting any artistic laws in his way.”
Well, I’m totally smitten and I’m loving the music, the flow, the vibe, his swag. Basically, I’m a fan, a new convert if you will. Plus, I’m earning massive cool points for puttin’ on music out of Johannesburg, South Africa. And oh, you got to check his take on the Joy Division‘s “She’s Lost Control” and if that doesn’t get you, well my friend we need to talk. Peace.
