Why hasn't StrangeJuice escaped anonymity yet? I am mystified that the world isn't enraptured by the magic he wields with what appears to be effortless ability and talent.
1 - Leafblower - a rocking tune with so much going on in there it makes my head reel. I want to dance with abandon. This song needs an extended version.
2 - Carrier Mouse - a nursery rhyme? a tale of morality? skip hop, merry-go-round... just enjoy. Makes me feel nostalgic, warm and safe.
3 - Snow Queen - every word I can think of to praise this song is inadequate. Progressive Pop perfection. The lyrics seem fraught with meaning and nonsensical at the same time.
4 - Maria - a lovely song - it makes me feel happy and giggly inside.
5 - Temporary Guy - makes me think of a guy, a guitar, a beach and a fire - but from out of the darkness comes the sound of drums and more...
6 - There's a Snake - if Yes, Pink Floyd and Peter, Paul & Mary ever wrote a song together it might sound something like this.
I am enthralled with this artist. His music conjures images and feeling, awakens memories, and sparks creative imaginings. Sometimes I have no idea what he intends to convey, but I always find a personal connection happening as I listen.
My only complaint is that this is a digital only release. I would love to see him get released on vinyl. He always finds great art for his projects, some he does himself, and the larger format of vinyl would give a canvas for expression I would like to see him explore.

Totally agree - I reckon Strangejuice's music kicks butt! Iv got his new album Leafblower on repeat absorbing all the goodness but I'm still in love with his song Jalapeno Sun which is a monster of a track and the video... wow! Unbeatable!
ReplyDeleteI am rather partial to The Sound of Prozac and Domestic Bliss myself - but he has yet to do anything less than extraordinary
