Person Man - Eros vs. Agape (2010)



/Psych-rock, Anti-folk, Krautrock, Crossover, Garage, Lo-fi, DIY, Avant-garde, Singer-songwriter, Psychedelia, Experimentalism/


Comment: The frenetic man behind these 14 tracks is Max Branigan, a musician out from New York. Acidic psychedelia/psyche-woogie meets noisy psych-rock/garage rock meets off-the-kilter compositions for artifacts/found sounds recorded during the unplugged sessions. Marcy & Miguel vs. Myself is a quasi tribal prog example. Absolutely staggering, by the way reminding of the early session of CAN in the end of 60`s/the starting of 70`s. On the other side, he conjures up heart-breaking songs like Cold Nothing (fast), and Song Of The Opposite. Beside the early period CAN, indeed, Branigan`s project can be compared to Speculativism, Vierivä Viiksiportieeri, Ghost Orbs, and Adrian Aardvark, for instance. This is our punk (folk).
