Baobab

Baobab plays a mix of acoustic and electronic music for humans and post-humans.

Baobab’s self titled debut is like a friendly squareoff between a high-on-life acoustic guitarist and a slightly warped electronist. It’s a complex pairing, and in the hands of a lesser artist would become musical-mash. But Baobab’s Phil Torres skillfully balances the sound, resulting in a wonderfully ambidextrous take on folk.

Conveyer

Conveyor is a Brooklyn-based music project spawned by the fated juncture of a wandering tarot of musicians in Gainesville, FL. Was it kismet or perhaps a primordial summon which led these gentlemen purveyors of sound to individually tune in and migrate North to the bustling seductress known as New York CIty? Their retort is Sun Ray, a debut EP birthed and released in the warm embrace of Spring 2011. Brimming with lucid, homey synths layered over acoustic guitars and harmonious vocals, they channel extraterrestrial bible-thumpers drenched in love, spouting acid-soaked pop unabashed to beam with the simultaneous embrace of life/death realities backed by a polyrhythmic, pulsing backdrop. A decidedly grand task indeed, and following a string of self-released, handmade EPs, they are releasing their debut full-length album in 2012 with Brooklyn’s Paper Garden Records, a testament to our nature and the nature of ourselves.

Oulipo

Oulipo wraps the songmanship of Ryan Trauley tightly up in layers of atmosphere. Oulipo puts forth an excellent marriage of pre-produced elements, live musicianship and real-time knob twisting.
