State of Grace

Jamboreebop (3rd Stone/ RCA)
by Clarendon Lavorich

Goodness, this is relaxing, isn’t it? Lovely trip-hop with bright, melodic vocals, that feels like streaking sun rays behind storm clouds. There’re some pop elements thrown in for fun, along with trombones and accordions. Look out for the extended acid trance rock “Bitter Sun” near the end, though. While amazing, if you aren’t expecting it, it could send you into stratospheric orbit. Could someone get me down now, or should I go ahead and fix the Hubble while I’m up here?
