Life Lessons :: ‘Eye Of The Needle’ Finds Sixo and Grace Park Collaborating Once More

Recent Fake Four signees Alligator Food surprised me in a major way when my friend Grace Park popped up on their debut project.  Cut to nearly a year later, and group member Sixo is preparing to drop a new project featuring his production and a long list of collaborators.  Lucky for us, Grace Park found her way onto Eye Of The Needle, and it’s quite the wonderful piece of music… sparse enough for Grace‘s voice to take hold, but a nice strong set of drums in the background to take us all by the hand and show us the way.  I am very curious about The Odds Of Free Will, and I am looking forward to hearing the finished album.

While cruising Facebook recently, I came across a post from my friend Grace Park that excited me.  It appears that an Austin-based group known as Project ATX6 has plans to take six handpicked local artists and provide them with the opportunity to tour to Canada, France and beyond.  The artists chosen this year are Grace ParkJai MalanoElijah FordTate MayeuxBeth Chrisman, and Andy Bianculli.  This truly sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime, and I am excited to see what this journey provides these musicians.  A compilation has been put together to showcase their work, so show them all the spiritual and financial support you can.

Big Arrival :: Alligator Food Makes A Major Debut

a1047406943_10

One of the best things about being involved in the independent music scene is watching mutual friends combine to make big steps on big projects.  Heir Max has been a friend and someone I have shared a number of stages with for quite a while.  Sixo and I have crossed paths on occasion, and we share a number of mutual friends.  The two of them have combined under the label Fake Four (the indie juggernaut run by my friend Ceschi) to form Alligator Food, a no-nonsense combination of hard beats and hard rhymes.  On some six degrees of separation action, my friend Grace Park left her songbird presence on one of the tracks for this EP.  The guys from Alligator Food were even nice enough to put together a lo-fi mindscramble of a video for G.O.Y.A., the lead single.

Animated Realities :: The Deer’s ‘Do Return’

In preparation of The Deer‘s release of their upcoming LP Tempest & Rapture, vocalist Grace Park dug deep into her artistic side to create a truly beautiful piece of art.  Do Return is a powerful video both in concept and execution.  It leaves you captivated, yet is simple enough to inspire one who experiences it to dig into their own creative side.  Worth your time, and worth sharing with friends.
