Folk Art Museum Ny

psychedelic rock of the 1960s had two edges, from two different strains. One was heavy and intense Acid Rock of bands like Buddy Miles Electric Flag, The Zombies, and countless other fuzzed-out guitar driven bands Sonic goes mental travel. Another strain of the period that the music has followed the path of hippies, a search and return to a lost innocence and authenticity. Some artists like Jerry Garcia found jug band blues and mountain swing. Others, like Donovan and the British band Pentangle, taken from the rich tradition of Emerald Isle folk music (which touched on Celtic myth and magical creatures from another world, like fairies and elves, things seen sometimes in extreme doses of LSD, perhaps feed the curiosity for the music). It is this strain that has continued workhorse.

Horse battle starts with these influences and creates a particular sound. It is organic in the sense that the duo - including Annie and Phil, who play a variety of guitars and other instruments, including harpsichord, organ and percussion of all kinds - Natural Sound like they play in the living room of a cottage in the woods for friends, instead of hearing "of" fans. "Their new CD, break in the clouds, captures the essence of psychedelic rock, which relates to another world with mythology, occultism, the fantastic visions and altered states (chemically induced or not). lyrical tale is accompanied by music that is cinematic. lush instrumentation and voice CD Dark Angel Annie give the listener with repeated plays over - emphasis disembodied guitar is an agreement here, organ drones that sound like they come from another room in your house. The songs are memorable, especially the sweet "Good Morning Moon," the surreal "Museum," and my favorite, the mysterious "Melesina."

[Mark Kirby] What are your musical memories sooner?

[Annie] my first musical memories are of listening to 70 hours of radio. I loved these songs. The songs of this period often told stories. Even though many of them were sort of a cliched, as they were sincere.

[Phil] My parents and my sisters were playing classical music with various degrees of competence. When I was six or seven, my grandmother gave me a transistor radio and I carried with me everywhere I went. But even before that, I listened to recordings of my parents folk songs of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and the Weavers. I could not remember a lot of complicated path songs before I could even read. In the late 1960s, I used to listen to FM radio metro. "Jelly Pudding" was the name of the show, hosted by "Michael Xanadu." He later played, hippest band in San Francisco, England and other psychedelic scenes. These sounds really captured my imagination 10 - years!

[Mark Kirby] break in the clouds opens with "Lullaby," a song that has the soft vaporous yet serious-minded summer '67. The guitar comes with delicate agreements supported by subtle percussion of tar (a part of Middle Eastern drum) organ and bass. Annie's voice is delicate, ethereal, singing words that evoke lost innocence: "Snake in the Grass - little lion in the tree / My love is good to me / The sun rises behind the eyes closed / Dream a lullaby. " The full effect of classic psychedelia is facilitated by the sitar, which penetrates halfway through the song, crawling on the listener as "mushrooms after a full meal.

"Angus Og" continues in the same vein musically captures the psychedelic feeling using electric sitar to play the opening theme song, organs and cymbals adorn this simple song about a woman's life dream and loved by Angus Og, the Celtic god of love. The words, voice and instrumental textures are similar to painting.
