Zonra - Is, Was, and Always Will Be

Zonra - Is, Was, and Always Will Be

Zonra
Is, Was, and Always Will Be
Label: self-published

Beautiful, complex and thought-provoking multi-layered melodic textures and churns flow throughout mid-tempo electronica. Complex and compelling psychedelic glitch-hop nuances and breakbeat grooves litter the lively landscapes, highlighting this Denver producer’s attention to detail.

Dopapod - Never Odd or Even

Dopapod
Never Odd or Even
Label: self-published

Album number 4 finds our palindrome heroes tighter, broader, more defined, and roaring with exuberant new material. Strong jams and great breakdowns are the highlights that propel this swiftly flowing funky rock with electronic embellishments and melodic grooves to new frontiers and expectations.

Soulacybin - Funkerpump

Funkerpump
Label: self-published

Liquid beats drip over hyper glitched bass bumps while living in a glistening alien landscape. Squishing upbeat ambiance becomes writhing dance experimentations while abduction fantasies are punctuated by space dub delights and psychedelic planetary perspectives. Yet another delightful Denver treat!

Yaima - Pellucidity

Yaima - Pellucidity

Yaima
Pellucidity
Label: Jumpsuit Records

As the term pellucidity means “to allow the maximum passage of light, to see clearly, as clear as fresh water in a mountain lake,” the album named from that term fills listeners’ ears with clear visions of floating melodies that glide amid world rhythms harnessing haunting yet beautiful soundscapes that are anchored by blissful female vocals on a sonic journey through the cosmos within and without.

David Newman - Acoustic Chant: Ukulele Kirtan Serenades

David Newman - Acoustic Chant: Ukulele Kirtan Serenades

David Newman
Acoustic Chant: Ukulele Kirtan Serenades
Label: White Swan

Although the traditional devotional chants of Kirtan are not often paired with ukulele, on his eleventh release, David Newman (Durga Das) not only leads with this unlikely instrument, but also adds in Hawaiian, Appalachian and American folk music flavors to the 10 sumptuous duets he sings with his wife Mira.  Also available as a songbook with CD, listeners can find sheet music with melodies and chords for a variety of instruments so they can play and chant along as they enjoy the healing mantras more thoroughly. What an amazing offering!
