Search - NNMaddox :: Psychedelic Ransom Notes

Psychedelic Ransom Notes picks up where Rainbow Kaleidoscope left off. But while the latter contained simple pop songs, Psychedelic Ransom Notes thrives on harder, abrasive sounds coupled with poetic lyrics that make pop-rock bands of today cry like a baby. What Maddox accomplishes with Psychedelic Ransom Notes is a masterpiece that combines elements of world music with straight-forward rock n roll. He throws a ballad or two in there for the broads as well. He knows how to please a crowd. He don't play. He don't eat a whole lot, he's not exactly a "nice guy," but he'll make you laugh, cry, dance, scream and puke. While other bands take years to write a mediocre album, pretentiously secluding themselves in an "inspiring" atmosphere, NNMaddox cranks out classics in apartment in Queens, New York. He laughs at douchebags "rockers" painstakingly agonizing over every pop, crackle, and hiss on a recording. NNMaddox knows the value of spontaneity and the beauty of imperfection.
