282. BALOO "NOM NOM"


it was actually really hard selecting a single track from this next EP, it works so well as a whole, so extracting one piece from it felt wrong, et could negate the overall experience. however i do believe the track i ended up selecting best represents the unique sound et energy that pervades this remarkable album. Nom Nom is a rollicking et ecstatic, rhythmically rousing, fuzzed-out, distortion-laden, lo-fi pop epiphany, from Akron, Ohio-based bedroom electro/noise pop artist Corey Farrow {of Low in the Sky} aka Baloo off his new "Avid Equestrian" EP (2011).

"So I give my name to you."

Farrow's ephemeral creation "Avid Equestrian" is an utterly mesmerizing auditory experience, it leaves one rather flabbergasted et in a state of bewilderment after it finishes. this is actually a good thing, as once you come out of your stupor you immediately want to hit the repeat button et take the journey again, trying as you do, to relive that incredible first listening experience one has with a new album that astonishes you.

"Avid Equestrian" could be described as a euphoric, spaced-out symphony of distortion, laced with an immense tableaux of noodly, fuzzed-out, spidery guitars, whirring organs, blippy electro squiggles, throbbing basslines et of course Farrow's warm, bubblegum-punk-style vocals. it is obvious that "Avid Equestrian" is a true labor of love for Farrow, one that i'm glad i was given the opportunity to share! enjoy!


MP3: Nom Nom

well, i couldn't resist adding another track after all, it will give you a feel for what else is in store for you!

MP3: Octophile

the "Avid Equestrian" EP is available digitally from Farrow's bandcamp, so if you like what you hear then i'd strongly urge you to head over et take a further listen et download it, or if you can then give him some $$$! he certainly deserves it!
