A CD by Icy Demons on Cloud Recordings. It has pictures of one eyed monsters on the front. This sounds quite nice. Someone is banging a table with some drum sticks whilst an accordion and a violin join in. A man has started singing. Kind of like The Sea and Cake playing the theme tune from Last of the Summer Wine. It sounds a bit like Animal Collective in that its wandering this way and that whilst vocals go hither and thither over the top. The guitars seem to be played sideways. An intriguing record. I can't for the life of me describe it, though.1. Young One

A new band featuring bass player / producer Griffin Rodriquez (Bablicon), drummer Chris Powell (Need New Body), and Chicago instrumentalists Dave Moyland, Matt Schneider, & Dave McDonnell. An epic journey into the nether regions of pop music, hallucinatory chamber jazz, and mid-70s German-style electronics, the rich / warm sound of the upright bass is perfectly captured within the exquisite orchestrations featuring layered woodwinds, occasional vocals, and complex percussion patterns. Includes a 12-page full-color fold out poster.
