"Elvis Lives on the Moon" exudes a quality of exotica lost in 21st-century pop-rock. Its lush title track has the quality of a Sunset Strip discotheque in the moonlight. Some of its songs have shivering echoes of carnivalesque brass, and it's hard not to notice Mr. Hammer's Elvis-like quiver in his phrasing and quaveringly sweet harmonies. On their latest single, Zircon Skyeband remains on their mission of aural discovery, melding a retro-soul feel to their astral soundscapes like only they can.
One official single Released under the Zircon Skye label, which is constantly changing, "Elvis Lives on the Moon" is a journey. New Single / Video From the forthcoming subsequent full-length by John Brokaw & Jeff Evans Check out Icy Landslide by John Brokaw & Jeff Evans Distributed By Lolipop Records W/P 2017 LARETTE 021/LOLIPREd 037 Icy Landslide Recorded by John Brokaw & Jeff Evans Mastered by Mike Donovan Cover artwork by Jess Greaser'S Icy Landslide is a narcotic lullaby that takes you on a heartfelt journey through a lush mind state. The first strum of that desultory guitar to the last velvet (saxophone) sigh is you, weightless.
It's a slow burn done right, gliding through verses like a midnight cruiser in the stars. The guitar riffs don't follow the sax so much as orbit it. Together, they create a dreamy dialogue between Earth and elsewhere rooted in feeling but free from genre constraints.
The real stardust here, though, is in the chemistry. Zircon Skyeband isn't just a band that plays together. They are together. It isn't some one-off collaboration. It's the sound of years of musical camaraderie crystallizing into a collective expression of love, longing, and cosmic curiosity.
