The second taster for Paul White’s new album Paul White & The Purple Brain with Guilty Simpson spittin’ over his psychedelic track. The music sounds like a modern version of Kraut pounding dry drums bass and guitar riffs. Guilty is perfect as an imploring priest. The instrumental is so different then the original and still as psychedelic, hypnotizing with the guitar riffs much more present.
The instrumental of his own Assumin’ Remix opens like a Syd Barrett song: haunted. …Drugs? No I’m straight….
So promising all these tasters for the album…..
The last instrumental ends with The Race by Yello in the back References….
My Guitar Whales will be the first single from the forthcoming second album of Paul White. The title song of this 7 inch is an accumulation of influences going from psychedelia, freak folk, hip hop over pounding drums pushy bass lines. The flip is based on repetitive chords on a piano, like a Steve Reich or Philip Glass 70ies piece, covered with samples, soundscapes, voices. It’s pushy and dreamy at the same time.
The Paul White & The Purple Brain, the follow-up to 2009’s The Strange Dreams will be co-released by One-Handed Music and Stones Throw sister label Now-Again in June.

Stubled upon this fresh little gem. Neon polyester extra-ordinair. It’s a dislectic adventure on some godforsaken mystic island. Exotic wonky psychedelic weirdness!
Part of the Los Angeles music scene (Brainfeeder ao), and aided and abetted here by producers The Gaslamp Killer, Mainframe and Flying Lotus, Gonjasufi stands strong despite his impressive helping hands. His dominant voice and ditto sound ideas are (lucky for him and us) all over the record. He moves music wise, somewhere between freak-folk, retro-hippie, orientalism, and abstract beats and it is tempting and dearing as hell. The electro-acoustic dominance together with the treated voices makes it kinda vintage but through the drums and bass it stays within the present. The sounds and songstructures stroll between psychedelic hypnotizing near madness which places him in the centre of his influences: San Fransisco seventies; Beatles; 22Pistepirkko; all these Mush kinda west-coast folk-hip-hop and as last: dub.

After Bullion‘s debut also on One-HandedGet Familiar I was blown away by his sounds and the enormous push he creates within his tracks. At first it starts as a ‘normal’ abstract beats track, the chopped up hip hop beats, the stumble but it has this urge to draw you to the floor. This was refined on Young Heartache. Say Goodbye is so different and on the other hand so within his sound vocabular. The track takes you into another world which is defined by the seventies spacerock with a hint of psychedelic funk all this put together into a popsong. Crazy Over You is more of a nodder on the melacholic side. Say Goodbye To What
