the drift, noumena

[rone]

"Upright bass phenom" bebopmonkey's band, The Drift, released their first full-length album (CD or 2 LP), Noumena.  The music is spacey and groovy, like a Brian Eno cover band pretending to be a latter-day Miles Davis ensemble.  The music works whether you're focusing on it or you hear it in the background of what you're doing.

My only complaint is that the CD edition lacks two tracks that are available in the 2LP edition (it's not as if the CD wasn't big enough to hold them).  And their EP Streets / Nozomi is available only on vinyl.  Still, i highly recommend Noumena.

¿eres de Ecuador o sólo estudiaste allí? ¿Sabes algunos restaurantes ecuatorianas en el Sur de California? No estoy seguro de si la comida que se hace mi tia es ecuatoriana sólo he probado su tamales.

Me crie en Ecuador; estuve 11 años allá. Nunca he encontrado un restaurante ecuatoriano fuera de Ecuador.

They're on Temporary Residence? *Awesome*. They're really great guys, sent me a bunch of promos for my radio show, and they've got lots of cool bands on their roster.

Congratulations to them!
