Album Review: Kit Sebastian - Melodi

Image
Melodi is the second full-length studio album from alternative duo Kit Sebastian, it was released on October 1, 2020. Great album! Incredible production and execution. On rotation since yesterday. it has a vintage throwback  sound while plunging  to it's musical roots in modern age psychedelic pop. It  will instantly recognize their unique  concept  that  softens  the  extremities   of world music, jazz, and psychedelia. but it is not a  nostalgic   admiration . It  salutes  its main  impact  but is very much a modern  contemporary  record, being simultaneously brand new and retro. This is a credit to the duo’s craft as musicians and songwriters, presenting their influences as a circular interaction between the present and the past rather than a linear one.   The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, language, and ideology.  This  expedition  is powerful in mu...

Album Review: The Lemon Twigs- Songs for the General Public

Songs for the General Public is the third studio album by American rock band The Lemon Twigs, It was released on August 21, 2020, The intention in "Songs for the General Public" record are innovative, lush and special, but the 12 tracks are brilliant with an amazing arrangement,  bolstered by the addition  of electric organ, guitar, drums, bass,  violin & harmonica. the  artistry  in the band deserves any and all attention from the music world,  I love all the harmony vocals and the future is looking good for The Lemon Twigs,  being amazing to feel so enthusiastic about a band you discover later in life, E xcellent band with a sophisticated talented sound. We were pleasantly surprised by this band. If you like Todd R undgren , Billy Joel, Rolling Stones, and maybe even Foxygen, you will likely enjoy this music.   I t is something very different from what can be seen in the other albums of this band. B ut everything these guys do seem...

Album Review: Tame Impala - The Slow Rush

Image
The Slow Rush is the fourth studio album by Australian music project Tame Impala, the album was released on February 14, 2020, The first lead single from the record, Borderline was released on April 12, 2020,  This album initially hit me as "this sounds too poppy and too much like Currents" on the first 3 listens. I found Tame Impala after their 1st album dropped and absolutely fell in love with the idea of John Lennon creating a psychedelic indie rock album,  but to me is just disco music. Not the psychedelic prog that I expected.   Not as good as lonerism or Innerspeaker, maybe 4 good songs, the rest of the songs are disappointing. I rate this album 6/10.
