Experiments In Plant Based Music Vol 1

Experiments in Plant-Based Music: Vol. I is Dana Janssen's exuberant and strangely assuring synthesis of those previously parallel domestic lanes, houseplants and a home drum kit. Inspired by the flora that reign on the ground floor and Mort Garson's endlessly pleasing Plantasia, and conceived in the basement beneath, these 12 pieces of luxuriant pop - rooted in Steely Dan and synthesizer strata, Afrobeat energy and astral harmonies, Robert Hunter koans and righteous horns - offer new mantras for and prospective maps of our complicated lives. If you worry about any New Age tedium to a record inspired by photosynthesis, don't: Janssen wants you to sing along with what he's learned.
