The Glitch Mob: Drink The Crush

Chris Clark July 14, 2010 No Comments

Some albums come out and change the game of how music can be perceived and understood. It doesn’t have to be The Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Dr. Dre’s original, The Chronic or more recently, Radiohead’s quintessential, Kid A. For The Glitch Mob, their debut album Drink the Sea-which hit shelves a month ago with the surprisingly genre-defying appeal, achieves this status, maybe without you even knowing it.

The Juan Maclean: AKA John

Chris Clark April 26, 2007 No Comments

His name is John Maclean. For the last couple decades, Maclean has been creating a craft slightly ahead of the cutting edge. Against all logic, he has remained rather below the radar for the better of two decades. While his artistic innovations haven’t exactly fallen on completely deaf ears, his future-searching style remains unheard of by many of those who should know.

The Motet: Instrumental Consent (Dave Watts Interview)

Chris Clark November 13, 2006 No Comments

The Motet fuse together the Latin with the funk, the new break beats with the experimental sax-laden jazz. Through this fusion of sound and cultures, Boulder, Colorado’s darlings have been worldly instrumentalists since 1998. With the release of their new album, Instrumental Dissent, the experimental sextet has further stamped their claim to a sound that has become trademark The Motet.

Evident throughout, The Strength of Weak Ties offers the listening public a more mature, well-rounded Lotus. The Philadelphian quintet ventures deep into a plethora of vibes, ranging from down-tempo driven to full funk forays. With an eclectic mixture of synthesized beats, male vocals (Steve Yutzy-Burkley guests on several tracks), quick, funky guitar and textured harmonies, the album delivers a punch that Nomad may have lacked on the whole.

While the high-octane electronic trio from Memphis has only been around for a touch over a year, The Pnuma Trio (Alex Botwin – bass, Ben Hazlegrove – keys and Lane Shaw – drums) has virtually bombarded the live scene.
