Jonah Tolchin - Lava Lamp - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

About this product
It's a sense of freedom and endless possibility that defines Lava Lamp, Jonah Tolchin's bold and adventurous new collection. Built around a series of loose, live-in-the-studio performances, the record is more sonically diverse than anything in Tolchin's catalog, expanding on the folk-blues style he's become known for to incorporate elements of indie rock and grunge fueled by gritty electric guitars and a muscular rhythm section. The songs are raw and emotional, reckoning with alienation and escapism in a modern world defined by 24/7 stimulation, but there's a buoyancy to them that belies their intensity, a mischievous playfulness that Tolchin credits in part to his new role as a stepfather. In that sense, Lava Lamp can be heard as the sound of Tolchin reconnecting with his own childhood, casting off the burdens of expectation and returning to a musical sandbox where the only limits are the bounds of his own imagination.

Saeko was formed in 2003 by Japanese singer, Saeko Kitamae, who flew to Germany to find a heavy metal band to join. Saeko performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air as the first Asian female singer. For some reasons she had to fly back to Japan, after only two albums, to the disappointment of many. 2 years ago she was relocating from Japan to Germany only for her music again. Saeko's music is the unique result created by fusion of Japanese and European elements. This individual identity is even more developed on the new album An epic with a concept story of a spirit reincarnating through different areas of the world -a sequel to the 1st and 2nd albums. The blend of classic/folkloristic elements and the metal approach resulted in music no one has heard of. It is an unforgettable experience made by Saeko's non-compromising attitude. Sometimes quiet and reflective, sometimes powerful, intense, with lyrics in English, Japanese, German, even Hawaiian and Sanskrit. It will surely inspire both intellectual and emotional minds of yours. True devotion to Heavy Metal.
