WORDS TO DESCRIBE MUSIC:
Next up on the docket for Acid Camp Records (ACR) is a record created by duo John Tejada and Justin Maxwell. The pair came together to make I’ve Got Acid (On My Brain) [ACR III] with two things in mind: Creating sounds that put a smile on their face while possessing as much character as possible.
The opening track, “I’ve Got Acid (On My Brain)” is a mind-bending wavetable freakout, the likes of which Tejada and Maxwell have been striving to do for years. Using a vintage EMS vocoder to create an original vocal sample, this track is bright, playful, and vivacious. “The Name Rolls In” is layered in an acid playground of sounds. A rhythmic track with a potent 303 bass line, prominent percussion, and that infamous vocoder back at it to create a distinctly groovy track. “Field Notes,” is a composition of celestial arrangements that is completely beatless. Carried through by tiers of sounds, filters, and noisier elements, this track lulls the listener into an alluring sonic dreamscape.
