Rave, Rave Before the Crying of the Light!

January 27, 2009 – 10:30 am
Favoritism towards an album that marries hippie-hearkening Pop to mutant club beats and a single that revives Boz Scaggs-esque country-boy Disco is one thing, but the love I had for the Disco magic revivalism of last year’s self-titled debut from Hercules and Love Affair was something else entirely.

October 17, 2008 – 10:30 am
Early in the week I praised Tabacco and his group Black Moth Super Rainbow for the druggy, psychedelic quality of their music.
