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. |

| Sometimes unabashedly innocent and loving music sounds unbearable to those accustomed to cynicism and bitterness. Tree Colored See, with its lazy, organic vibe, offers one of those rare collections that draws in the listener with an honest peacefulness that no New Age record could ever possess. It helps that the project brought together three musicians of fantastic musical pedigree Mystic Chords of Memory (Chris Gunst, formerly of Beachwood Sparks, and Jen Cohen of the Aisler Set) here joins underground hip-hop producer extraordinaire Nobody for this meditative set. Nobody's programmed beats couple with Chris Gunst's voice in a refreshing break from the singer's typically Byrds' influenced music. Sure, it's an over-the-top collaboration, and a mouthful to boot, but together the virtual trio creates a brilliant soundtrack to a medicated morning on the couch. - Resonance |
