An acoustic guitar and a voice can be a beautiful thing. In 2015 however, a time in which the Internet is saturated with acoustic and neo-folk singers ad-nauseam, an artist has to have something special to stand out within the sea of mediocrity. David Rangel
Spank begins Ron Louis Smith II’s The Prince of Sunshine and it builds upon the work of his father (Ronald Louis Sr., one of the KC and the Sunshine Band originals) – there is a high-energy approach to the track that is honest to the original funk recordings but the frenetic pace of the composition and electrified sound makes this into something that works alongside Chromeo or Random Access Memories-era…

Ever wonder who was the most pissed off guy in the 70’s? My money is on Art Garfunkel. Simon & Garfunkel had just left the 60’s behind with a few Grammys and a ton of stellar songs on their resume. After calling it quits, (apparently Garfunkel pulled the plug so he could embark on an acting career) Paul Simon took a year or two off and comes out with his…

Fans of Pure Bathing Culture’s 2013 record, “Moon Tides,” will find “Pray For Rain” a vast departure from the former’s sounds of vaguely perceived dreams washing out into the ether. While vocalist Sarah Versprille still has a voice which could be mistaken for The Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser (sans the unintelligible lyrics of that band’s ’80s period), gone is the targeted production style that defined the band as purveyors of…

SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur…
