\nIndies Scope Distribution, 2015<\/p>\n
Frankly, as much as I am not dancing tango or anything else at the moment which is overdue, way overdue, even I will admit that dancing is good for your health and your soul, and in the case of Mydy Rabycad\u2019s Glamtronic, dancing is contagious, even in a chair, if not mandatory, and at that, it should be.\u00a0 And even chair dancing may be impossible after a while as you are compelled to rise and move uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
The combination is quite incredible and listenable, on repeat, which this album received several months back.\u00a0 And still, happily, this album is difficult to get out of my fertile imagination where dancers are flying and dancing with each other to infinite heights around me.\u00a0 \u201cDon\u2019t Play This Song,\u201d would immediately become a criminal offense in an anti-music dictatorship.\u00a0 To put it tritely, I dare you to not play it.\u00a0 It\u2019s infinitely playable and danceable.\u00a0 While I generally don\u2019t like to quote from one-sheets, this is just too prosaic not to share. \u201cThe boys (Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Pejcha, N\u00e8ro Scartch, and Jan Dr\u00e1bek) combined their acoustic instruments with the powerful sound of electronic mixes and beats while \u017dofie [Dar\u030cbuj\u00e1nov\u00e1] started to conquer the solar systems with her voice.\u201d\u00a0 They have, and \u02ccsupercalifragilisticexpialidociousally, so has \u017dofie, the lead vocalist.<\/p>\n
Does it have hints of Glam, not the \u201cGlam\u201d that was forced upon us in the 80\u2019s from the likes of Cinderella that I argued with some foolish friends at work once upon a time, but the original real-deal from Bowie and Bolan\u2019s T. Rex? Yes, yes it does.\u00a0 Even so, the music somehow manages to fuse Glam with some Black American Music, otherwise known as Swing Jazz, that\u2019s been updated for the here and now, and in a wholly evolutionary fashion, rather than the forced versions of Brian Setzer a few years back.<\/p>\n
Though adequate words fail me, and gushing would seem insincere in a few circles, every track invites such enthusiasm.\u00a0 However, there is one standout that \u201cfeels\u201d like a sampling of an older jazz track, and it may be.\u00a0 I invite you to listen to \u201cI Got a Man,\u201d and make your own determination.\u00a0 Even so, \u017dofie\u2019s voice blends in nicely. While the album is predominately swing, this in a microscopic way, lightly verges into something more ethereal and universal.<\/p>\n
Am I crushing on the lead vocalist?\u00a0 So I am guilty, obviously.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t the first time that has happened.\u00a0 There is something about a voice that welcomes you into their world and invites you to imagine a life within that world. I invite you to also get this one stuck in your music player as mine has for the last several months. They\u2019re all sing-alongable, too, and while \u201cBelly Button Nation\u201d invites comparisons of tube tops, it also invites a bubbling reminiscence out of thin air, the horns and frivolity of, The Year Without a Santa Claus\u2019 <\/em>\u201cHeat Miser\u201d.\u00a0 Oh, the musical machinations of a obsessive music nerd never cease.<\/p>\n RadioMike Mydy Rabycad Glamtronic Indies Scope Distribution, 2015 Frankly, as much as I am not dancing tango or anything else at the moment which is overdue, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,84,85,71,53,25,72],"class_list":["post-225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-albums","tag-album-review","tag-electronic","tag-glam-rock","tag-indie-music","tag-indie-rock","tag-music-reviews","tag-world-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226,"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225\/revisions\/226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiocasbah.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
