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. |

| Tree Colored See sounds like California-dreamin' folkadelia smacked gently in the face with a percussive electronic backbone. Oh wait, it is! Here, Mystic Chords of Memory (Jen Cohen and Christopher Gunst) team up with Nobody (Prefuse 73 cohort Elvin Estela) for a collaboration that sounds exactly like you'd expect. Dreamy to the point of horizontal, sprinkled throughout with harmonicas and twanging guitars, Tree Colored See will send you thumbing through your old Sparklehorse, Elliot Smith, and Belle & Sebastian albums without quite being able to pinpoint why you feel so darned nostalgic. - XLR8R |
