Josh Reichmann / Oracle BandGenre: Indie / Psychedelic / New Wave
From: Canada
Toronto artist Josh Reichmann Oracle Band (formerly of Frenchkiss post-punk band Tangiers) has decided to cover another newly-famed indie hit, this time, a haunting male response to Bat For Lashes' incredible song, Daniel. Josh is making the cover available for mp3 download in celebration of the release of his debut LP, 'Crazy Power' out today on Paper Bag Records.
According to Josh: "I'm aiming with these covers (Deerhunter, Bat For Lashes and Bill Callahan upcoming) to showcase the songwriting that I think is strongest by these artists and reference their production but put my spin on them- which is to bring a raw strange life to there voices and recontextualize or open up the lyrical themes to new dementions. I only cover things that feel soulful or timeless, something I strive for in my music."
Crazy Power is the followup to his Life Is Legal EP, Josh has gone in a new direction since Tangiers split, gathering from a pool of soul, early-funk, roots and dark punk influences. Already known for being an enigmatic performer, he now fronts a five-piece band, incorporating heavy saxophone, Stevie Wonder-meets-The Stooges keyboards, soul-style drumming, a live dancer(formerly of the National Ballet), and thick roots bass. He reminds the Devil of the fantastic Pop Levi which is high praise indeed.
