| DEMO: To The Moon / Cheggers Smokes Pot First track, "To The Moon", floats in on a sea of funky guitars. The mid-tempo verse gives way to the speeded up, more forceful stance of the chorus. I detected some distinctly Jimi Hendrix influenced guitar happening on this track as well. "Cheggers Smokes Pot" once again has a "funk thang goin' on". This largely instrumental track has got just about everything thrown in, including the kitchen sink - hip-hop samples, what sounds like a siren and a lead synth part that is a dead ringer for "Telstar", all superimposed on the funky/blues guitar backdrop. A few reference points from my own record collection would The James Taylor Quartet, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Hawkwind. This is a bit of a departure from the normal style of music reviewed here at Mood Swings and the first listen was a bit of a shock, albeit a pleasant one! I listened to this quite often between the other albums reviewed this month and found it let me approach the more conventional Mood Swings albums with a new perspective. At the end of the day, I think the band have enough ideas to create an interesting and worthwhile album.' Nigel Wilson - Music Journalist - MsWings.com DEMO: To The Moon/Cheggars Smokes Pot 'These guys are evidently trying to challenge conventions - sailing perilously close to jazz-funk at one point. Evocative, in short, of another era.' Alex Ogg - Live Club.com Return to Homepage |
