Bruce Cohen | FOUR BC

Bruce Cohen | FOUR BC

I spent the weekend listening to a new album from Bruce Cohen. It's rare to come across a musician that has such a deep vision for music and can captivate the sound around you. This new album is going to transport you out of your ordinary day-to-day mentality and take you to place in your mind has been waiting for you to visit. A place where you can let your imagination run wild and break free from the repetition of life.

Right off the press of the play button, you're greeted by the uplifting rhythms of the premier track, "HAUS."  This track will get you in the groove and set the mood for album. It is so important for the first track to set the mood of the album and this track has all the right ingredients for a lead-off track. You'll find depth in the music that reaches far beyond the capabilities of your stereo system. Four BC is an instrumental journey through the vast untraveled landscape of your mind. Each track takes you soaring across a soundscape that has layers of intricacy rooted deep in rhythm. Once the music starts, your ears will be treated like royalty and bathed in the sonic aura of modern music.

It's not everyday that I come across music that captivates me in such a way that I listen to it on repeat. This album has lasting power and will find a permanent spot in many playlists and music libraries. Fans of Ian Pooley, Broadcast, Moby, BT, and Brian Eno will find this album to be a new juggernaut in their music collection. The undertones of EDM mixed in with the Dance Rhythms will be a perfect fit for any social gathering. Music that can fill a room and not take over the conversation is like a diamond in the rough. Adorn yourself with the sound of Bruce Cohen and get your mind, body, and soul in motion with his new album, FOUR BC.

MAKS The Fox | HONEY

MAKS The Fox is an orchestral folk pop band from Chicago, IL. Fans of the Love Me Nots will find MAKS The Fox to be the mellow side of your musical cravings. The music is mellow and elegantly composed with female vocals. One of my favorite things about this style of music is that it has an ancient feel that brings emotions up from deep within my soul. A feeling that most modern music can not induce in me or my soul.

The first single of the album is "Honey" and it has that magic that draws you into the music and creates an imaginary world inside your head. As the music and lyrics guide you through imagination, you start to find yourself forgetting about the world around you and you get immersed in the mood of the music. By far this is one of the best new bands emerging from Chicago, IL. If you're luck enough to live the Chicago area, you need to do yourself a big favor and go see MAKS The Fox perform live.

Next shows are coming up in March 2016
House of blues Chicago - March 16th
2 shows at Ohio university Friday March 11 & Saturday March 12 

Bio from the band's website: 
This creative collective features a unique combination of guitars, keyboard, viola, cello, bass, and drums.  They break away from a more traditional setup and provide their audience with a diverse textural auditory experience.  Singer songwriters Kori Simonson (vocals, guitar, keys) and Marlon Aguilar (vocals, guitar) started as a duo in 2012, and it has gradually grown to include members Sarah Cornish (viola, backup vocals), Rachel Schuldt (cello, bass, backup vocals) and Jacob Fawcett (drums, backup vocals)
Kori & Marlon starting recording songs with Dan Duszynkski (of Gold Motel, Any Kind, & Cross Records) and completed a debut album in 2013 with him.

"From The Deer Forest" will be available in early 2016 and is heavily influenced by the beauty of Chicago.

The Oengus Projekt | Red Skies

The imaginary realm of music is one of majesty and beauty. The Oengus Projekt has recently started work on a new album that will bring the fantasy world of musical imagination back to the world. The first track released from the album is "Red Skies" and it has the flare of wonder and the elegance that Enya brought to the music industry. This album has great potential to be a bright light among the mass produced music of modern society. 

From the first note, I felt tones of surrealism envelop my ears and bring me to a new state of mind. Just as my Pink Floyd albums have done so many times when I need to unwind and escape the repetition of the day to day tasks that loom. "Red Skies" has a fresh new approach to music and the organic feel of the lyrics just blends into the music and brings a new feel to the texture of the sound. A texture that lures you to close your eyes and drift away in to the depths of your own mind. Music like this is so precious and has a deep spiritual connection with our subconsciousness. It helps the hidden side of our minds bloom and reach out to the light.

Take a moment to listen to the new sounds from The Oengus Projekt. They're French Musicians that find influences from all corners of the globe.

The New Position | NOT

Emerging from the carnage of over-saturated media is a difficult thing to do. With so many online radio stations and mobile apps that are streaming music non-stop to the public, it can be very difficult to find good music. I've created this blog to feature some of the musicians that you may have missed in the shuffle.

One band that rises to the top of my list as one of the greatest unknown bands is THE NEW POSITION. As a child of the late 80's and early 90's, I grew up listening to some of the most influential hard rock and alternative music that has shaped our modern society. Bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Metallica are all staples of what paved the way for modern contemporary rock music.

TNP has reinvented the simplicity of heavy rock music with the delicate touch of female vocals. TNP's music of heavy guitar riffs that shred your soul and drum beats that kick you into next week are what lay the foundation for this impressive trio.

Modest Goddess layers her thought provoking vocals over this hard rock music with such grace and elegance. Lyrics that get stuck in your head are the best kind because they strike a chord with your soul. MG's lyrics and vocal talent are not to be over-looked. This band is a hidden gem in the mass confusion of today's music industry. I predict it is only a matter of time before TNP becomes world famous and takes the crown as the reigning hard rock band of this coming decade.

Bruce Cohen | Blue Stomp

New music is here and this go around I'm listening to Bruce Cohen. The first single, Blue Stomp, from the album THREE BC is an eclectic amalgamation of digital synths and a solid back beat of drums & bass.

Somewhere between the ethereal trance of Pink Floyd's musical magic and the sounds of nature that surround us everyday you will find the music of Bruce Cohen. The rhythm keeps you moving and pulls you into the next moment in time. The combination of man and machine have found a state of harmony that pleases the ear. Bruce has found his center of peace and manifested it into a blend of sounds that sooth the soul and energize the heart.

I highly recommend that you listen to Bruce's music on headphones. the spacial movement of his compositions will transport you into another dimension of consciousness. Just close your eyes and get swept away to a new land of imagination and wonder.

Ryan Helman has revived the classical sound of the early days of rock music. Fans of the Beatles will find a kindled interest in Ryan's music. It's no surprise that Ryan resides in the U.K. and thus his music is rightly inspired by some of the greatest musical legends.

The track "Bowl of Something" has the classic sound with some mixed ingredients that are reminiscent of the popular music from the 80's. The feel good music just puts you in the right mood to relax and realign your day. Ryan has really composed music that puts you in a mood to move to the rhythm and find yourself shedding all the worries that have been hanging on your subconscious.

Carnelia

New music from the musical duo from Athens, GA, Carnelia, has just emerged. The track, "AS I WALK" from the album, The Journey of Man, takes the listener on a dreamy psychedelic trip into the realm of the subconscious.

The mellow mood of the music has a captivating embrace. Fans of Pink Floyd and Maroon 5 will rejoice with the discovery of this new band. If you're an old school rocker from the era of Dire Straights, then you should take a moment to hear what this band is composing.

The lyrical content is uplifting and positive. Thought-provoking music is always a great way to strengthen your soul and reinforce the day to day lifestyle that we all strive to achieve. The music is produced and recorded professionally, so this is an easy recommendation. Have a listen to them and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
