Supersonic Blues Machine announce 2nd album 'Californisoul'
/
It’s the sound that Supersonic Blues Machine has spent much of 2017 sharing with audiences from as far afield as Texas, Holland, India, and St. Petersburg - starting with their headlining slot in front of thousands at the Notodden Blues Festival (Europe’s premier blues festival) in Norway – and now the band are back with an exciting new studio release that picks up right where the band left off on their well-received debut record, West of Flushing, South of Frisco.
Californisoul is all about great songs, and while Grossi wrote most of the lyrics, the music was created and fleshed out in the studio by the band, and they have conjured up a modern day soulful, blues rock classic. This album shines in the depth and soul of the songs and songwriting - no cookie cutter filler to be found. “Cry” is a soul searching, simmering piece of poetry and Lance Lopez preaches it in the most righteous way. “I Am Done Missing You” is another number that reaches down deep with a message that will resonate with both spurned lovers and those who have left their bad habits and ways in the past.
Californisoul is a study and celebration of the human condition, and “This Is Love” could be the lovechild of Bob Marley and War with some stinging guitar action spread on top. We’re living in times in which it’s hard to keep on keeping on, and it’s easy to fall prey to habits, vices, and distractions - “Elevate” takes a close look at the “high” life, and how one must raise above the temptations and tribulations if the music is to be made. Elevate your soul, indeed.
