Inspired by early US & Brit Rock and Pop, from Buddy & Beatles, thru Bowie to Blur & beyond, with a nod to psychedelia, & a hat tip to Jack White. Music that moves to a solid beat, meshed with lyrics darkly filtered through a 21st century sensibility.
Bio / Background
Like a misfit at a party given by madmen, Joe Ray Realité rubs up against the scene around him, and, aroused but not gratified, goes home to spill his seed on the fertile soil of his singular imagination. The music that pokes up, from the darkness and dirt, has it's roots in early US & British rock and pop, but with branches that twist and stretch beyond the past to create a sound firmly planted in the post modern world.
Moody lyrics that speak of observance, as much as cynicism, are caught up in the gnarled mingling of sometimes jangling, sometimes crunchy guitars, driving bass and techno-primitive drum beats. Various electronic knots and whirls supply extra texture.
The fruit of all this metaphorically woody stuff (it's faux-wood, with a nanocarbon undercarriage) are songs about the textures of the world today, from stories of miscreants of the home world to tales of vacationing visitors from beyond.
