Colossal Yes "Acapulco Roughs" updates
Utrillo Kushner from Comets on Fire challenges the notions of contemporary music with his latest project Colossal Yes. Piecing together classic piano ballads with more abrasive rock/psych instrumentations, he experiments with a concoction of old and new sounds, making the recording approachable yet challenging to the ears. Fans of Bill Fay and John Cale know how to appropriately kick back and let the music wash over you.
PRESS:
Rough Trade Album of the Week: "A fabulous album that keeps growing with repeated listens, say yes to the yes!"
200LB Underground: "I wept so hard that I was awoken a few hours later by my roommate shaking me conscious on the couch."
Other Music: " Pummeling and ferocious as a skin-pounder, Belcher unfurls his sensitive, plaintive, piano man side here, a-crooning and a-plinking on his debut as Colossal Yes. Not that he's Billy Joel; he instead reaches for that sacred mantle of folks like John Cale and Bill Fay--or more recently, Plush--to surprising success."
