James (vocals/keys), Bob Hatter (guitars), Tony Paoletta (pedal steel) and Peter Young (drums)— pushing cosmic-American music into tomorrow with eleven tracks that mingle fresh songwriting with daring reinventions: Gram Parsons’ voice, isolated via the same AI technology used on the Beatles’ “Now and Then,” soars alongside the band on “Pride of Man” and “More and More,” while Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” appears in a lush country-soul arrangement restoring Keith Reid’s unused verses ...

Shiny pop with an existential/scientific underbelly – spoken word crypto-fantasy meets smoothglamour…..Bobby Zodiac and The Clairvoyants have created their own world. A world populated by grinningpuppets and men in gold jackets, of rusting mirror balls and vomit-drenched fairgrounds.

Contrary ...
