MH-241 Nobody & Mystic Chords Of Memory - Tree Colored See  Tree Colored See is a collaborative effort between Nobody (Elvin Estella) and Mystic Chords Of Memory (Chris Gunst and Jen Cohen). Building off of successful guest appearances on each other's past releases, the trio began collaborating on the project in the spring of 2004. After a year-plus of road trips and mail-order production efforts, the result is a perfectly crafted blend of psychedelic hip-hop and sunshine folk-rock. Nobody proves himself a producer/arranger in the classical sense, using his sample-based tool set to create the foundations for the album. Chris Gunst continues to mature as a songwriter and along with partner Jen Cohen, adds wistful vocals and accomplished musicianship to each song. For those who have followed any of these artists throughout the courses of their respective careers, this album proves to bring out the best in each of the participants. |

| Beachwood whisperer Chris Gunst, with Mystic Chords of Memory partner Jen Cohen (the Fairways), wafts yet more gauzy Trees psychedelia in conjunction with L.A. revisionary Nobody (Elvin Estela). Delicate fog pop for water pipes, bubbling without "Memory," an outgrowth of the spacey desert drift of "Coyote's Song (When You Hear It Too)," Tree Colored See ebbs and flows like Beachwood Sparks in dream state. The dancing riff of "Walk in the After Light" glints like twilight against the strum and burble of "When the End Meets the Beginning," whereas "Softer Sail" twists gently against rain-stick closer "Floating." - Austin Chronicle |
