Living in Symbol

Debüt Solo Album von Anthony Ferraro aka ASTRONAUTS, ETC., dem Keyboarder bei TORO Y MOI. Die durchwegs ruhigen psychedelischen Arrangements erinnern an George Harrison oder Les Baxter. Stimmlich bewegt sich Ferraro irgendwo zwischen Lee Hazlewood und HAL 9000. Indie Tipp!

New album from Anthony Ferraro aka Astronauts, etc, who for most of his music career, served as Toro y Moi's keyboardist, with this album 'Living In Symbol' being his debut solo record.
Sonically, the album weaves its influences into an alien drapery. “The Border” introduces Latin psychedelia to a groove à la David Axelrod, setting the stage for a vocal performance that manages to be equal parts Lee Hazlewood and HAL 9000. On “The Room”, a Borgesian story gets dressed up in an eerily graceful string arrangement reminiscent of Les Baxter. And “Who I Talk To” nods to George Harrison in a soft rocking arrangement that supports Ferraro’s ghostly croon.
