But have no ...

Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter

Brandon Seabrook: Sylphid Vitalizers
by Stefano Merighi
Non c'è davvero paragone tra quello che Brandon Seabrook propone all'interno dei diversi gruppi in cui presta la sua luciferina opera di chitarrista (ad esempio Power Plant o i Black Host di Gerald Cleaver) e in questa singolare prova in solitudine. Nel primo caso emerge un talento improvvisativo molto brillante nel confondere avant, rock e psichedelia; ...
