A project that began way back in 1995 as a solo vehicle for the New York City artist Robert L. Pepper, Pas Musique has evolved into a four-piece these days with the addition of Jon V. Worthley, Michael Durek, and Jesse Fairbairn. On Psychedelic Talismans, <\/i>the quartet covers electronic, experimental, and krautrock moments with a massive amount of skill and even more imagination.<\/p>\n
\u201cSplash Of Red Touch\u201d starts the listen with a cinematic and prog-like quality that buzzes gently and with much mystery in it electronic and psychedelic template. \u201cCollected Fictions Brightly\u201d follows with a soothing demeanor that’s certainly ambient, nearly sci-fi\u00a0 even, and entirely fascinating as it embraces a dreamy climate. \u201cIn Likeness Of Me\u201d finishes up the first half of the listen with an incredibly diverse track, where calmness, reverb and samples meet in a droning atmosphere that’s as unclassifiable as it is inviting. <\/p>\n
The back half of the listen offers the dub-friendly and electric guitar-fueled desert rock of \u201cABC Of The Telephone,\u201d as well as the beat heavy and immediately alluring \u201cThe Hour\u201d where Pepper and company showcase their atypical chemistry. \u201cLas Bas\u201d exits the listen on one of the album’s best tracks, where Eastern ideas enter a hazy, sonically challenging display of violin prowess with much attention to mood. <\/p>\n
A quick record at just over 30 minutes, Psychedelic Talismans <\/i>has so many textures, sounds, and noises here, that you’ll likely discover new moments to love within each track every time you listen to it. <\/p>\n
Pepper is also an artist in the area of oil and acrylic paintings, and his other musical projects include The Jazzfakers, Eyryx, and Limax Maximus. It’s pretty clear that he possesses much meticulousness in all areas of his life, and Pas Musique certainly reinforces that creative nature in spades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":34297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[10641],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-46132","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-pas-musique","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46132"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46132"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
