"BALLORETTES"
"Balorettes"
is the first 12" from Nobody's second album, tentatively titled
"Pacific Drift" and centered around Nobody's California
sunshine filled world of dreamy beats and cosmic sounds. Lifting
off where "Soulmates" (a head turning debut charting on
hip hop, electronic, and even AAA radio charts, plus fantastic press
reaction from the likes of Spin, The Wire, XLR8R, URB and more)
left us, these next tunes show a growth in Nobody's production skills
and expose some of his wide-ranging influences. Side A is a beat-driven
tune dedicated to jazzish prog/post rock legends Stereolab who've
been a huge influence on Nobody's sound (he's been known to stand
right up front at their shows and beg for tunes!), this is his "thank
you." And the B-side finds Nobody incorporating more live instruments
into his sound courtesy of Los Angeles based band Languis. "Images
of April" highlights one of Nobody's passions - Rare 60's psychedelic
rock. It was originally laid down by psychedelic folk ESP recording
artists Pearls Before Swine.
