Golden State of Mind Written by Holly Estrella Del Dia, Roots Highway Music Critic From Mark Lane - Golden State of Mind Written by Holly Estrella del Dia, Roots Highway Music Critic from www.rootshighway.com During the early 16th Century, those who were talented in many different areas were called Renaissance Men. Though little of today’s generations know this term, it could easily be applied to a select few multi-talented musicians (such as Lenny Kravitz and Joe Buck). However, a man who is perhaps even more deserving of such a title is Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, Mark Lane, whose jaw-dropping debut Golden State of Mind makes him easily one of today’s most exciting newcomers to the Americana genre. Phenomenally, Lane himself takes the responsibility of doing everything on the album pretty much himself - including production (though long-time friend Jason Falkner helps out on a few tracks). From the sunny sound of the Beach Boys on the opener “Girl with the Clouds” to the classic pop of “Drivin’ Braille” to the yearning melancholy ballad that is “Lorelei” and the growl of “Enough to go Around” that closely resembles Tom Waits, Lane shows that his talents are as varied as the roots of Americana itself. While some debuts can suffer from covering too wide of a range by the artist spreading themselves too thin in some areas, Lane’s genuine instrumental expertise and emotional vocals are more than enough to straddle the borders of genres authentically. Tying the musical diversity together are Lane’s witty lyrics that cover love/infatuation, aspirations for fame, and classy rambunctious rebellions (“Taste for Champagne”). A style that is as unique as Lane’s musical prowess, it could best be described as a mix between those of John Wesley, Jack Johnson, and Gary Louris of the Jayhawks... and such a combination leaves Lane in nothing but good company. Never sacrifi cing poetry for the sake of melody, Lane offers listeners a fl avor that is truly unique and refreshing. While times are constantly changing and the term “Renaissance Man” is now most commonly associated with Leonardo da Vinci, from the scope of Lane’s debut, it is obvious he has a long career ahead of him. Though some may say much of his style has come a little less than “Fifty Years too Late”, if you have been awaiting contemporary fl avored classics mixed with new age poetic lyrics, Lane is defi nitely “the one you waited for” and it is pretty much guaranteed that we’ll all see his “name in lights” in due time. Grade: A- Mark Lane - Golden State of Mind by Clay Steakley | from www.performingsongwriter.com Tinted with the jewel tones of George Harrison and Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys, but wellinformed by contemporary pop masters like Michael Penn and Lloyd Cole, Mark Lane’s music is sheer aural pleasure. On his debut, Golden State of Mind, Lane conjures classic soul (“The One You Waited For”), the Band (“Fifty Years Too Late,” “Taste for Champagne”) and tons of Beatlesfueled pop beauty (“Attention Span,” “Ring My Bell”), while still sounding fully original. Lane’s songs are solidly crafted but easygoing, and they absolutely luxuriate in sun- drenched California sounds, from Brian Wilson to Gram Parsons. Lane deftly handles a startling number of instrumental duties, including drums, guitar, piano and keys. Guest appearances from D.J. Bonebrake, Chris Joyner and Lane’s collaborator Jason Falkner (Jellyfi sh) round out the breezy, summery sound. It’s a surefi re hit for any pop fan and should translate to fans of straightforward rock and Americana alike. Mark Lane - Golden State of Mind from www.milesofmusic.com In the fi rst two tracks, Mark Lane proves himself to be a “do-it-yourselfer” along the lines of Emitt Rhodes, McCartney or Jason Falkner. Drums, bass, keys, guitars and doubletracked vocals, all layered with an appreciation for the classic masters - Beach Boys, Beatles, etc. By track three, in steps Falkner, who plays on, and co-produces, 4 of the 13 tracks on this terrifi c debut. It was actually Falkner who helped kick start the project but had to leave due to touring commitments. Lane, left to his own devices, met the challenge and produced the wonderful Golden State Of Mind, which refl ects the cheery post-Beatle pop of ‘70s California (hence the title). Two obscure references for the “reminds one of” section include English ‘70s popsters Pilot, whose non-”Magic” tracks are great too, and Mark Radice, who, merely in his teens on his 1972 debut, had a similar vocal tone, lilting melodic sense and fl air for the orchestral. Some notable guests here include D.J. Bonebrake (X, Superstring), Mike Bolger (Brazzaville) and Chris Joyner (Soul Asylum, Freewheelers). (Orange Deuce Re- cords) Mark Lane - Golden State of Mind by Connell Burton McDaniel | from synthesis.net Some people fail to understand the importance of assigning things properly fi tting names. Mark Lane is not one of those people. His new album is titled Golden State of Mind and suitably so, since sonically it is quite reminiscent of the music coming out of Cali- fornia during the ‘60s. Lane, formerly of the Hoodwinks, is the disc’s mastermind, playing and producing (with a little help from Jason Falkner) just about everything he has written here. Most of the songs shamble by at a comfortable mid-tempo pace. The title track is sup- ported by a sustained organ that blends beautifully with the harmonizing “ooooooowhaaaaa” background vocals. On “Attention Span,” the music strays geographically with a swinging Dixieland sound, courtesy of a trumpet, sax and piano. This CD should’ve been released in June. It would make a nice, lazy summer soundtrack. Mark Lane, Golden State of Mind (Orange Deuce) by Jason MacNeil | from popmatters.com Infl uenced by The Beach Boys and The Beatles, especially on “The Chance”, Lane opens with “Girl With the Clouds”, a tune that recalls Tom Petty circa Wildfl owers. Lane, who does most of the instrumentation himself, keeps the fl ow with more of a pop rock effort on the fi ne “Drivin’ Braille”. Lane, who is currently working on a follow up to this record, seems to slow it down with “The One You Waited For” that brings to mind Josh Rouse or Jason Mraz. Lane also brings a lot of dreamy, late Elliott Smith remnants to the record, particularly on the ambling “Fifty Years Too Late”. One surprise highlight is the cheesy organ solo that kicks off “Taste For Champagne”, a slightly raunchy bar pop tune... Generally, there is enough quality material to make it an enjoyable listen, particularly on the lounge-lizard-like “Enough to Go Around” or somber “Ring My Bell”. Mark Lane - Golden State of Mind (4 & 1/2 stars) by Dennis Scanland | from www.musicemissions.com Golden State of Mind is the debut album for Los Angeles based singer/songwriter Mark Lane. It is a very strong debut with a variety of styles experienced throughout. Lane does pretty much everything himself on Golden State of Mind including production. This normally can lead to disaster when you have one person doing everything but Mark is a different case. He is genuinely talented and is capable of doing it all himself. It was actually his friend, Jason Falkner (Jellyfi sh) who asked to produce a couple of Lane’s songs that got him into the studio in the fi rst place. You will hear Falkner helping out on four tracks. When these tracks were laid down, Mark decided to set up his own studio in Echo Park and recorded the rest of this album. The sound that Mark is going for is all over the place. The album opens up with a Jayhawk’s styled track called “Girl With The Clouds” but then gets right into a great classic pop sound with “Drivin’ Braille”, one of the album’s highlights. “The One You Waited For” has a bit of a Jack Johnson feel with it’s shuffl e, even though Mark sings it with a blue-eyed soul voice. My favorite line comes in “Taste for Champagne”: ‘You know I got a budget for beer/I got a taste for champagne’. It’s one of the coolest tracks on this impressive debut. If you see this anywhere, be sure and check it out. Head over to Mark’s website for more information or CD Baby to buy the disc. It’s worth the effort. Mark Lane @ The Mint by Oscar Jordan from Music Connection magazine www.musicconnection.com Material: Mark Lane is one of those rare and gifted individuals who understands how to draw from the best musical infl uences and turn them inside out to express his own unique voice. Though an unabashed late-period Beatles meets The Band, meets Brian Wilson vibe is predominant in his songs, Lane is no copycat. Songs such as “Girl With The Clouds”, “The Chance”, and “Her” ring honest and true with a welcoming blend of melodic pop hooks, old- school rock vibes and genuine passion. Musicianship: Lane’s band is solid, unpretentious, deliciously old-school and tight. Each member performs at the service of the songs without fl ash. Drummer Luke Adams conjures up the lost art of the solid backbeat with great skill and ample groove. Keyboardist Chris Joyner is the melodic secret sauce providing classic arpeggiated lines and inspired soloing, while guitarist Jinsoo Lim crafts resplendent mini-compositions in perfect context. Singer/ bassist Mark Lane pulls double duty playing melodic McCartneyesque bass lines, while soaring on top with impassioned vocals. Performance: The band’s stage persona was laid-back, personable, and without affectation.

  • Beck Nach Fast Sechs Jahren Mit Neuem Material US-Musiker Kündigt Für Februar Eine Neue Platte An
    Innovative und schillernde Persönlichkeit der Alternative-Szene: Beck kündigt nach fast sechs Jahren neues Material an. Beck nach fast sechs Jahren mit neuem Material US-Musiker kündigt für Februar eine neue Platte an 07. Dezember 2013, Von: Redaktion, Foto(s): Peter Hapak Der US-amerikanische Gitarrist und Sänger Beck zählt zu den besonders kreativen und schillernden Figuren der internationalen Alternative-Szene. In Deutschland schaffte Beck im Jahr 1994 mit dem Song „Loser“ aus dem im gleichen Jahr erschienen Album „Mellow Gold“ seinen Durchbruch. Für Februar 2014 kündigt Beck sein neues Album „Morning Phase“ an, das erste mit ganz neuen Songs seit „Modern Guilt“ aus dem Jahr 2008. Musik von der Stange, das war noch nie die Sache von Beck, der 1970 als David Bek Hansen geboren wurde. Beck hatte schon immer den Hang zum etwas unkonventionellem Musizieren, in seinen Song fanden sich schon in den Neunzigern Samples und Elemente aus so unterschiedlichen Genres wie Folk oder HipHop. Das galt vor rund 20 Jahren als innovativ und speziell und nicht zuletzt deshalb war der Musiker regelmäßig ausführlich behandeltes Thema in der Musikpresse. Zu seinen Album Klassikern zählt das 2002 veröffentlichte „Sea Change“ und in einer klanglich recht ähnlichen Form soll auch das neue Beck-Werk „Morning Phase“ daherkommen. Als „begleitendes Stück“ zu „Sea Change“ soll es von Experten beschrieben worden sein, die schon in das neue Material des Musikers reinhören konnten, Fans und Insidern ist damit wohl eine Orientierung geben. Viele der Musiker, die bereits vor gut elf Jahren an „Sea Change“ beteiligt waren, konnte Beck auch für die Aufnahmen von „Morining Phase“ gewinnen, darunter Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Joey Waronker, Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr.

  • Dear Friends That Love Music
    Thorcraft Cobra ~ The Distance Thorcraft Cobra have perfected the seemingly lost art of combining big, radio-friendly hooks with big, classic-rock guitars.” - LA Weekly “It's not really a record people can bone to, so it better be cerebral.” – Billy Zimmer First off, despite their righteously badass nom de artiste Thorcraft Cobra are not purveyors of weed- hazed, beer-soaked SoCal Throttle Rock. Together, Billy Zimmer (Brown Eyed Susans) and Tammy Glover (Sparks) combine a knack for concise pop songwriting, a gift for crafting immediately engaging melody, and impeccable taste in rock and roll sonics into something that is both fresh and undeniable. Zimmer and Glover first crossed paths when their respective acts signed to the same label. “I started as a fan of his guitar tone” relates Glover, “but quickly fell for his wit and songwriting skills.” Zimmer’s band, Brown Eyed Susans, had moved to Los Angeles, recorded a lost classic Afraid of Heights with Jason Falkner (Beck, Air, Paul McCartney, Jellyfish) producing, and was seemingly poised for success. Meanwhile, Tammy became the drummer for brothers Ron and Russell Mael in their iconic band, Sparks, and toured the world. When Brown Eyed Susans imploded in a cloud of dust, Zimmer retreated to his depressing North Hollywood wood-paneled hermitage to lick his wounds. He started working on some rough demos, and decided to play a few for his labelmate. “I wasn't super confident in my work. Then I played some it for Tammy, and she was like, "whhhaaatttt". And told me that it was good, and that she should play drums on it and we should put it out” explains Zimmer.
