California Daze was recorded in Hollywood, California by Jim Guittard on his 4-track recorder and later mixed with Adobe Audition 2.0.  The songs pay tribute to the birth of the Neo-Psychedelic scene that emerged beginning in 2000 in Silverlake, California with groups such as the Beachwood Sparks, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Quarter After, smallstone, the Warlocks, the Tyde, and the Belle Isle.
 

Jim Guittard played the shaker, drum machine, and sang all lead and background vocals and had the help of friend Vladimir Maskov for bass.  Brian McKay engineered the recording of the Beach the acoustic version.  Guittard also played all lead and rhythm guitars.  The song Beach is co-written by Jim Guittard and Dominic Campanella of the Quarter After.
 

The "Swing Tune" and "Jazz Tune" are instrumentals written by Jim while attending the Musicians Institute from 1999 to 2000.  Jim plays the lead guitar with session bassist and drummer.  On the rhythm guitar is a guy from Brazil named Reginaldo.  He was a student with Jim at the school.  You can hear the teacher, "Mr. Lupo Groinig" giving a critique after the instrumentals end.

 

Just previous to this time I was in a duo called the Ragas which was folk-rock-psychedelic with Henry McGuinn, son of the Byrds founder.  You can download an album we did together here at Jamendo:

La nature de sa simplicité instrumental est garante de son image musical. Seul reproche, la qualité de l'enregistrement pour certaines chansons. L'ensemble est magique, envahissant, surprenant… rien d'inutile… le charme délirant s'unie à la vie qui cherche de nouvelles voix… Je me balance et me rassure qu'il y a des gens qui, encore, sont libre dans leurs créativités… Mille couleurs, mille rêves… Je suis envahie par l'instant...

I saw your post on the forums mentioning that few people review your work... A suprising statement considering the reviews I see! Well, even though it was an old post I decided to come and check it out. I chose your first album because I believe that while the first may not always be the best it captures the starting point... It's like reading a book, while the first novel may or may not be the best it's where you have to start to understand the progression. I didn't expect to like this album, I thought I'd be handing out a lackluster review since I am not one of these people who enjoys everything on Jamendo. Most of the supposed 'underground' music that rages against the commercial nature of the industry makes no attempt at sounding like anything but the type of music that is made by people involved with the commercial nature of the music industry... But yeah, I wasn't sure what I'd be getting. If it had been a bunch of synths under the guise of indie rock I would've flipped my wig! The first thing I saw was the artwork on the California Daze which frankly, I hate. I'm sorry, I just do. It's nothing personal, it didn't dissuade me or anything.... It's just personal taste. I started the album and let it play while I did other things, but routinely I would stop and listen because I was suprised by the fact that I more or less enjoyed the songs. It is an excellent reimagining of classic/psychedelic rock mixed with folk and country and possibly a hint of surfpop here and there. The production was good without being sterile, the guitars were noisy without being overbearing, you sing really well, you have a sense of pop. So yeah, while this may not reflect my typical listening tastes I do feel it is a worthwhile album that might reflect the merit of the artist as a whole. -Banjii

Cuando se disfrutan trabajos como éste (y sobre todo el tema Beach) es cuando te das cuenta que la música vive en artistas como éste, fuera de las manidas modas fabricadas por compañías discográficas...

Qualité "démo", non, mais plutôt qualité "lo-fi". On sent que l'album est fait avec peu de moyen, et c'est ce qui donne son charme. Ca part dans des délires (genre "jazz tune" et "swing tune") toujours plaisants, des ballades folk tranquilou, et des ambiances psychés mélodiques sympa. "Un peu trop pop parfois" serait ma seule critique "négative". Dans l'ensemble, très bonne album dans son genre. Que j'aime. I'll download it!
