This
self-titled, self-released cassette by Galaxie Deluxe is a bit all over the
place, but that is okay. From the
instrumental beats and all around loops of synth and possibly midi, this
quickly can find its way into trickles of other loops and then surf sounding
guitar chords.
If
there is a band or another artist to compare this with, I’d be surprised. It has the qualities of a band such as Blind
Melon, but does things they never did.
The aspects of being off the mark at times reminds me of that early on
Beck feel,
The
songs are somewhat distinctive from one another, though they do flow in a
manner which you wouldn’t expect when one is seemingly so different from the
next. So while this might seem a bit
scatter-brained if that’s the way to phrase it, I think credit at least needs
to be given to the fact that this still has a comprehensive feel to it overall.
While
a lot of fun and just different in the approach overall, Galaxie Deluxe also
demonstrates some stellar musicianship which should not be ignored over
everything else going on here. This is
a fine piece of music that I feel no other medium can contain and so you should
be all over this cassette.
