Local CD Pick: “Night Gallery,” eponymous
By Patrick S. Pemberton
ppemberton@thetribunenews.com
PearlsIt wouldn’t be wrong to call this CD – professed to be “a collection of fantastic adventures and electric dreams” – pretty serious stoner music. With random poetic ramblings projected in one speaker only, surreal lyrics and trippy instrumentals fueled by spacey keyboards, one could easily picture Night Gallery music played at one of those Pink Floyd laser shows.
Little is known about the band, which is surprising in the MySpace era (They can’t be found on the Internet). But the sound features a sleepy male lead that recalls Lou Reed, plus whispery female vocals. Picture a more psychedelic Velvet Underground, and you kind’ve get an idea. The CD traces the adventures of the fictional Emerald Spikelduff and includes such things as “purple-painted horn-rimmed spectacles,” snowflake doilies and kangaroos.
