MusicTaste is proud to announce the release of “Switching On X” from Japanese rock sensation, FAKE?

BUY NOW ON CD BABY

FAKE?, the brainchild of Oblivion Dust’s Ken Lloyd, was born with the concept of having no boundaries, both in terms of music style and live performance. It is this open approach to the creativity in music that has birthed a constantly evolving, truly unique sound. While decidedly a rock band, the electronic, ethereal, and the organic have never been captured as successfully as they are in their release of  “Switching On X.”

Recorded in London with a fresh backing lineup, the record breathes of new life. Driving rock tracks, aggressive beats, and experimental studio elements are all complimented by Ken Lloyd’s varied vocal approach. Following FAKE?’s latest releases, “Songs From Beelzebub” and “Marilyn Is A Bubble” we have seen the band’s style further evolve into one which can truly be called as their own.

FAKE? are also renowned for their brutal and energy-driven live shows. While doing countless headline tours, FAKE? have also opened up for Guns N Roses in Hong Kong (Their first Asian show in almost a decade), and have also played festivals in Japan and South Korea alongside bands such as The Offspring, Weezer, Placebo and The Black Eyed Peas.

Note From Matt:

Thank you so much for checking out my music!  The I WISH EP is a collection of songs I wrote in my cramped NYU dorm room over the past two years.  Seeing them go from homemade demos to this fully-produced collection of music has been so inspiring.  From the daunting task of recording six songs in three days in LA’s The Village Studio to the incredible experience of shooting my first music video, the process has been challenging, fun, and everything in between.  This EP is everything I’ve wished for and more, and I hope you can enjoy my music half as much as I enjoyed making it.  Thanks for listening.

-Matt Palmer

The new album consists of two great noticeably aspects. The first approach is an organic selection of songs, which Dori played with Paulinho Da Costa and Abraham Laboriel.

Paulinho da Costa, one of the greatest Brazilian percussion players, brings the remarkable Brazilian atmosphere to the album.

Together they play with bassist, Abraham Laboriel’s, who brings out a sensitive melody, making this album truly distinct.

Contrary to the organic side, Caymmi also recorded tracks with drummer Mike Shapiro, bassist Jerry Watts and pianist Bill Cantos, bringing a more collective band groove to the album. Dori will feature tracks in English in addition to his native language, Portuguese.

The album’s Brazilian induced rhythms will bound to make you sway. The new CD will be available for the first time online at CDBaby.com followed by sales at his shows, including the release party and his tour in the U.S. which will be announced momentarily.

We have decided the winner is Angelo Gallotta.
