Greta Morgan’s (The Hush Sounds) new band Gold Motel has been making some noise around the city for awhile, but with their current east coast tour and the release of their full-length debut, Summer House, on June 1st, the band will be launch to the national level.
The record release event for the new album will be on June 11th at Lincoln Hall.
Stephen Paul Smoker released his new album Ripe Fruit last week. The album an eclectic romp shifting from the fast paced, driving rhythm of "In Cairo" to the somber pluck guitar of "Cold As A Stone". This album seems meditative and psychedelic at the time. The are many moments through out at quite, almost restful. One of my favorites are the flute interlude in "The Light On The First Day of Spring... Pt 1.". In many way Stephen Paul Smoker is a throw back the 60's, but the way he builds his melody's also feel very modern. Ripe Fruit is just that, fresh and ready to be consumed.
