Demo of the week Admass
|
ADMASS is the ongoing project of Welsh wiseguy Daniel Owens,
a wishy-washy chap who wears velvet jackets and would love to
have spent a day picking daisies with John Lennon.
Tell him you think fellow-Beatle Paul McCartney was the better
man and he will flip into a violent rage its become
my favourite sport.
His head-in-the-clouds flower-picking music matches his dithering
personality.
Listen to first track Menu-Exit, scarily haunting, and you will
see what I mean. You might not get any further.
But persevere and the Admass collection really is not that bad.
Less is more on second effort Inertia with lots of good guitar
and fewer vocals.
Owens vocals are stronger on Ante Bellum it sounds
like a chilled out version of Lennons How Do You Sleep?
The Admass tunes continue in the same vein, sometimes losing its
way but always curious enough to maintain interest.
Judge for yourself on www.admass.net where Owens appears in typical
coffee shop pose and holds court about the worlds rights
and wrongs.
On the site, to prove the point and his obsession, he tells an
Admass collaborator: Im the Lennon of our partnership
and always have been if you want to dispute this, get yer
own website.
Owens promises more tunes this summer and he will always be one
to look out for providing he gets over the Lennon fix.
