Juices of a fig dripping upwards to fill a creamsicle sky. Speaking in the abstract is the only way to properly invite you to the music found on Figmore's complex of delicious sounds, colors and other wonderful things -- "Jumbo Street."
The musical duo comprised of singer/musician JUICEB☮X and producer/musician 10.4 Rog are making the bright brighter, the fruit fruitier and colors all the more colorful. Fragrant production throughout "Jumbo Street" coats the music with smells of pie in the sky. Records like the floaty "Wormhole Teatime" takes that daydreaming literally, traveling at the helm of a myriad of anesthetizing chords with snare drums on a promenade with sliding percussion. Juiceb☮x's melodies and falsetto dulcify the track, taking his singing on a pleasant stroll complete with sightings of honey bees, flowers in full bloom, humming birds and nectar rain.
Jumbo Street is all alleys of psychedelic vibes ready to play as openers during Woodstock. Other joints like "Black Velvet" leap with its eyes closed and sprout wings half way down. Woozy guitar strums breathe distilled illusions into the makeup of the beat. Backpacker drums strapped to a "Black Velvet" adlib evoke posse cuts of old hip hop while Juiceb☮x's cloudy vocal tones and heavy metaphorical verse provides a fresh squeeze of new flavor. The duo even went as far as making a freshly blended love song hemorrhaging nostalgia out of a children's nursery rhyme now and forever re-titled, "Rosie."
Figmore is an impossibly talented duo that make impossibly delightful music. The melodies will get caught in your head and reality will only be life before "Jumbo Street," and life after.
