Seabright / Shimmer Label: Lazy Calm Records Allie F Reviewed 2011-03-06 Solo project of Justin Morales from San Jose. The easy listening ranges from mellow Post Rock and Psych to funky Electronic Pop to Minimal ambient slash random noise… in a good way. Singing is used judiciously. When used, it’s delicious. Mostly electric and acoustic guitars, synthesizers, drum programming, & samples. Midtempo. RIYL: Stereolab. Think Passion Pit, toned down like 5 notches. try: 7, 11, 13, 14 NO FCC Violations 1. Starts with church organ chords. Experimental sequencing. Song meanders around. 2. Only a minute. His singing = super attractive. More please! 3. Peaceful & interesting. Sounds like an electronic ocean. 4. Beautiful piano. building five-note sequence culminates in washy spa music. 5. Words come in 2 mins in! In no-words parts, indistinct squeaks pop in and out of Sims themed music. Ends with real instruments (maracas & bongos?) & beat. 6. Significantly slower, little bit more of a downer. *7. Words. Laid back. “I wanna be ready” Good. 8. Words @ beginning. Synthesized Electronic a la Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek. 9. Nice synthy beat. Sporadic laser noises. It’s a toe-tapper. Loses beat and throws us a barrage of crazy sounds towards end. 10. There’s sweet drum-set use! Almost Passion Pit-ty, minus the whole singing part. The last 40 seconds is all just distorted noise, may want to fade out. *11. Mellow oohs and ahs over guitar strumming and synths. Definitely fitting to its title “Summer Voltage.” 12. Words, Echoes and reverb, Synths and nice sequencing. It’s pleasant. Provides a nice set-up for the awesome next two songs. **13. Clever. Barely distinguishable at beginning is old-school sound of someone on the radio. Builds to awesome beat. More than being just a head-nodder, it’s a smile-inducer. “Aa-a-ahhhs” on top of music in attractive ways a bit in middle. *14. Beat begins catchy like “Footloose” movie’s title song. Has most words out of all songs. Diff’t from CD’s earlier Mellow Ambient songs. Ends w/ guitar playfulness. | ||
