German project Weathertunes is renowned for its sun-drenched beats. After
several releases on Peacelounge and Jubilee Records, äPalm Beachô is their first
release on Lemongrassmusic and perfectly picks up the vibe of their preceding
download EP äSunsurferô. On full album length, rolling waves of charming beats
keep you going to create an overflow of joyful vibes. The atmosphere evokes all
sorts of endearing experiences: languorous leisure, the pleasures of exotic
places and the charm of erotic encounters. Supported by German jazz guitarist
Michael Arlt (appearing on 8 tracks) and French singer Kay Dee the Bee
(surfacing on 2 songs), Roland and Daniel Voss deliver a shimmering little
masterpiece.
The introducing äPalm Fictionô makes you feel welcome from the very start.
Chirpy, vibrant and vivacious, equipped with merry horns and driven by Michael
ArltÆs gentle guitar, you are irresistibly drawn into the album. äLadies Firstô
follows as a feathery hommage to the female species, an elegant bow to the all
the wonders of the women in the world. äConfidenceô reflects a rather pensive
mood, before äSugar Loafô tastefully evokes dreams of Rio de Janeiro and makes
you smile deep in your heart.
If you canÆt spare but 4:08 minutes, you must spend them on äPicnicô, a
slow-motion house track which makes you spell b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l in your mind
over and over again. äSex is the Placeô takes singer Kay Dee into the limelight.
Its lackadaisical, meandering shuffle makes you long for daytime love-making - a
padded dream where the laws of gravity cease to exist. äThe Sunny Side of Lifeô
pleases with a jazzy touch and vibrant groove that takes you on to lush pastures
or plush surroundings, wherever your mind feels at home.
äThe New Jazz Fiveô comes as an autoritative spoken word performance. äAll Night
Longô is the next convincing slo-mo little house number, before äAmazing Placesô
picks up speed and leads to the accentuated latin beats of äMy Night and Dayô,
adding a surprising touch that makes rhythm spread in your limbs and once more
underlines the vocal skills of singer Kay Dee. The concluding tracks äThe Snakeô
and äSiddhartaô reverberate with a philosophical approach, rounding off the many
shades of the album with a vibe of universal peace and understanding.
All in all, äPalm Beachô is a wonderful album about love, closeness and
togetherness. It provides cosy warmth in winter and refreshing coolness in
summer. Tune in, catch the vibe and ride on the waves of WeathertunesÆ sunny
imagination.
