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. |

| As far as collaborations are concerned, the pairing of Elvin Estella aka Nobody, beat-driven psychedelia producer/DJ and typical Guillermo Scott Herren (Prefuse 73) touring mate/collaborator, and Mystic Chords of Memory, bedroom indie-pop duo, Chris Gunst (Beachwood Sparks) and Jen Cohen (the Aislers Set), is about intriguing as it gets. As their repertoires predict, the resulting sound is a mix of late 60s psychedelia, subtle, fractured beats, sunny folk-rock and hushed bedroom pop… what else could you ask for? Nobody paints colorful backdrops using his steady drum patterns and hazy samples while Gunst and Cohen add their respected musicianship and wistful vocals. The album is sure to swivel, bob or relax the heads of stoners, indie-hoppers and hipsters alike. - Audiversity |
