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. |

| Here is a list of things that I felt while listening to Tree Colored See: Catching frogs as a child. Soundtrack for the “Tunnel of Love” amusement park ride. Watching baby tigers fight over a rack of lamb while sitting on the tailgate of a covered wagon. Magic swans tapping their webbed feet with enjoyment. A merman orchestra. Here is a real description of the band/album: Chris Gunst of Beachwood Sparks fame, Jen Cohen of The Aislers Set, and Nobody (Elvin Estella) have joined forces to create the perfect soundtrack to your next mid-afternoon daydream session. Tree Colored See combines Chris and Jen’s sunshine folk-rock instrumentation and laid-back vocals about all the little nothings that make up a great day with Nobody’s psychedelic beats and sampling techniques. The idea works quite successfully mostly due to the fact that no single person is trying to hog the limelight. If you can look past the freaky eyeball on the cover, you will find a quite pleasant album. - Oh No! |
