Synopsis

Product Description
Borne of the patchouli-soaked rainforest of Oregon's Willamette Valley, Cabinessence peppers its space-hippie country with sultry, Bolan-esque glam rock and bizarro flashes of ass-shaking motor-city funk. The ghosts of Brian Wilson and Phil Spector haunt these walls - or would, if either of them were dead. Naked Friends is the bands second long-player,and their first for Spark & Shine. Their debut Comes Back to You landed them as one of Magnet Magazines Bands to Watch. Cabinessence is led by Nathan Maricle and Jacob Arnold, formerly of NW buzz band Marigold.

Bouncy combination of 70s Britpop, country-rock and sunshine
hyperbolium | Earth, USA | 07/10/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Named after one Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks' songs from the mystique-laden Smile project, this Oregon quintet's harmonies certainly nod to the brothers Wilson. And despite the Pet Sounds-styled bridge "Instrumental No. 2.," the group artfully melds too many flavors, including pop, glam, psych, blue-eyed funk, West Coast country-rock, and even swingy jazz, to call out the Beach Boys as a singular influence. The mix is more upbeat and retro than 2005's Comes Back to You, motoring along with the summery smile of "Thought/Start" and drifting into space with the South-of-the-Border horn instrumental "Ruby's Moon Elevator." The song list artfully mates the hooks of AM singles with the finely crafted segues of FM albums. The band's mix of British pop (T Rex, Thunderclap Newman, Badfinger, post-Beatles Paul McCartney), country-rock (Byrds, Burrito Brothers, CS&N, Creedence Clearwater Revival) and sunshine psych (Beach Boys, Millennium, Sagittarius) is sure to perk up a cloudy day, whether or not you're from Portland.
