Creative, interesting and energetic blend of styles.
Sweet voice, soft breezy guitar, meloncholy bass, relaxing rhythms.
I have nothing against rap, but I don't understand the review that gave it a low mark and called it rap, because I don't hear any elements of rap or spoken word at all. It sounds like straight-up African or Afro-Carribbean pop to me, with very catchy tunes and nice vocals.
This is a very nice, relaxing track with an intro that immediately catches the ear. I hope you'll post a whole album soon!
This album is not only great music, but it's also a whole lot of great music--16 tracks, over 65 minutes! I especially like the tracks in which the "hop" is as prominant as the "trip", such as Night Black Crow, part 2. I like the natural vocals much better than the altered ones. (There's a bit too much of the low altered vocal for my taste because it starts sounding like novelty music.)
This is my favorite album from Porpoise yet. It has all the fun and energy of earlier albums, with more polish (both in arrangements and production) and a broader emotional range. "Big Cat Tag Team Take Down" is a hard-driving crowd pleaser with a nice guitar solo. California Racist, Silver Bullet and Soldier Bear all bring out a softer, more melodic side of the band that hasn't been so apparent in the past. These songs also show the band's ability to maintain their tongue-in-cheek playfulness while taking on more serious topics. Thanks Poise!
Wonderful vocalist on this album. Polished and professional, and real pleasure to listen to.
This is a jaunty album with a touch of disco, a touch of reggae, and some Latin rythyms. Nice background music while I work. Not too serious, but well-done and enjoyable.
Each track seems to tell a story, and each new track feels like a new chapter in the book. Works well as sort-of "ambient" background music and as a "headphone" album.
