Rael is seeking new followers for
his alluring brand of sitar-tinged
Indo pop that is sure to convert
you with this album’s 10 commanding tracks that Billboard has
called “Brilliant” and the New York
Times, “Irresistible”... The church
theme continues as Finland’s The
Vatican Space Program deliver
their far-out debut, A Cobble of
Songs that reflects the band’s
wide range of musical backgrounds. Drop the needle and
you’ll discover a startling array
of styles from folk to indie rock,
country to doo-wop, British pop to
punk to New Orleans jazz. “I Like”
is lovable with enough energetic
swagger to be convince y’all that
there’s life in these grooves... The
Pinder Brothers Michael and Matt
are sons of one of the founding
members of The Moody Blues and
their penchant for solid songcraft
on Melancholy Sea indicates that
the fruit hasn’t fallen far from the
tree. “Same Mistake” is flawless
and agile pop with tantalizing
teeth in the mid-section that sets
the tone for the records that follows. Often, the music is still and
calm with breathtaking depth. Often, the waters get stirred up and
things get a little more choppy
and dangerous. “Talk To You” gets
its message across with bouncy
and bright rhythm guitars punctuated by sharp leads and waves of
harmonies. The Pinder Brothers
make crafty sing-a-long melodies
with enough of a rock edge to
entice the masses to join them on
their musical adventure. See ya
next month!
