shainhouse Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Here's a review of Jay's new album I wrote for View. Jay Crocker and the Electric Apes Melodies from the OutskirtsSaved by RadioJay Crocker, former lead singer and guitarist of fabled touring workhorse Recipe From a Small Planet, has emerged with his first release since the band called in quits two years ago. Along withfellow Recipe-mate Steve Fletcher on keys and his nine-piece Electric Apes handling the rhythm and brass, Calgary’s Crocker has compiled a creative collection of intricately scored, large-scale arrangements. These are wildly progressive, acid jazz exercises that flirt with straight-edged pop, classic Americana and familial roots rock. While a crammed earful at times, thisstylistic sludge works because of Crocker’s obvious attention to detail, formal training and understanding that no matter how eccentric and free each song is, the element holding the stewtogether is its simple, consistent base. While Crocker’s songwriting is influenced by the ghosts of his old quartet,Melodies from the Outskirts, it is noticeably more concise, despiteconsisting of more complicated arrangements. This is a matured songwriter who inherently understands that some elements are best left out rather than raggedly jammed in.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 If the band were called KAEsee and the SUNshine band, I'm sure these spelling issues would never arise . (I do hope to hear you guys soon, Shain . Any plans to make it Ottawa Valley-way?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 We actually had a date in Ottawa on April 1 but had to turn it down because of a family function commitment on our end. Therefore, we can't make it up there, unfortunately.check out 4 full songs from the record here though:www.liferecordsent.com/kae.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I caught a little bit of these guys last night at the Pepper Jack, I have to say I was incredibly impressed. It's just...fucking cool. There's lots of different jazz flavours, some swing, lots of orchestral pop a la Sgt Pepper with a pompadoured whiskey-voiced crooner's touch. Some moments where it dissolved completely into free jazz...the horn players were awesome, as was the keyboard player...shit, everybody! Go out and see this tonight, it's original and it's bloody cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
