ElevtrTrax Of The Day – The Stages Of Sleep – Cebu Flower
“Here comes something that’ll perplex your ears: desert sounds by a gang of San Fran kids with wild-eyed revel in Latin instrumentation, and an infinity for the innumerable alliterations of modern American folk sounds. Members scatter across the States in San Fransisco, Oregon, and Brooklyn (shout out to local artist JJ Byars who is accredited on Half Moon Day,) while the record was recorded during a two week stay in the hills of Mount Tamalpais. With a touch of José González, Andrew Bird, and group harmonies culling into memorable highs that effluence like those pure Local Natives moments, I think it’s the plenty of world flavors on Half Moon Day that offers a contrasting listening experience from their peers, yet molds shape for fans ears at the same time. “Cebu Flower” is akin to peyote, so just jump in.”
