The Mars Volta /// The Maklin Jewel

The Mars Volta are one of my favorite guitar bands hands down. It’s a simple choice really, because Cedric Bixer-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López are never boring, and the guitar work and lyrics are consistently from another planet, possibly even another dimension. How many of you are TMV fans? Wow! That’s a whole lot of hands in the air. So, like me you love the bands head-trip progressive experimentation, as the songs weave in and out of consciousness, as the music performs a sonic lobotomy on your frontal cortex and soul kisses your spine! Check out the full album stream at www.antiquiet.com. Peace. Better yet raucous mayhem! Continue reading “The Mars Volta /// The Maklin Jewel”

Kimbra // Settle Down (Video)

Something wonderful is happening down-under and it’s spreading like wildfire. Get ready for a hot summer and a Tsunami of above-par music from our brethren and sistren from Australia. Kimbra has a voice like melted sunshine and powered moonbeams and her song “Settle Down” just does it for me on so many levels. Take note, ’cause I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more from her. Plus, the video just kills. Kimbra’s U.S. debut album ‘VOWS’ will be released on May. However, the Settle Down EP is available now on iTunes. Peace.

Oughtasight – Losing My Mind

I popped open this song like a chilled can of your favorite carbonated beverage. It fizzled. Hissed. Releasing a mist of pure effervescence; so refreshing. I am impressed (not an easy feat) and a bit elated. This guy Oughtasight sculpted an ideal blend of acid jazz, hip hop with whimsical pop references; and riding above the fray such witty and observant lyrics. It’s a winner winner chicken dinner.
