MYSTERIES
NEW AGE MUSIC IS HERE (FELTE)
Mixed by John McEntire at Soma Studios, Chicago, IL USA this debut full-length from this faceless trio is a mixed bag of psych-rock, cyborg, 50' doo-wop Alice Coltrane style.
Mysteries is just as it implies. There's a sense that the band would prefer to keep your focus on the music and not who they are, where they come from or what you might perceive them to be before hearing a single note.
If you need glorious mug shots and preamble to capture your intrigue, then this is not for you.
The album's title, New Age Music is Here, could even be interpreted as a sarcastic shot at the new listening habits dictated by the constant noise all around us, but is more likely a simple invitation to engage with the music on its own terms, in its own universe.
One thing is certain. New Age Music Is Here glows with exotic, crunchy, muscular, expressive pop music built around vocals and drums, rather than the big synth or guitar riffs prevalent today.
Almost like a psych-rock, cyborg, 50's doo-wop Alice Coltrane if you will. Is it truly new age? We definitely haven't heard much like it.
