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. |

| We love the mix-up of post-rock, post-country bands grabbing hold of indie hip-hop producers and MCs (think: Hood + Dose One) and putting them to work in the weirdest of pop experiments. This pairing is easily one of the better ones we've seen, with Nobody's gently hewn beats providing a colorful new palette for Mystic Chords' almost-hippie-dippie vocal meanderings. Awesome! - XLR8R |
