- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Crazy Power is the robust counterpart to Oracle Band's Life Is Legal EP .
The self-produced debut was recorded in 2008 at Toronto's Giant Studios in
piecemeal fashion. The new disc continues to show Josh Reichmann (of Tangiers
fame) dismantling his post-punk bent for a psychedelic stranglehold on early
funk and soul records. Recorded with Ian McGettigan, the album's one-sheet
says the album references 1970s heavies like "Lennon, Robert Wyatt,
Funkadelic, the E-Street Band and T-Rex's outsider glam." That list should
give the band's onstage ballerina (ex-National Ballet dancer Laura Bolton)
plenty to gambol to on the road. Reichmann was joined in the sessions by Ian
McGettigan on bass, James Sayce (Tangiers) on bass, Sebastien Grainger on
drums, Steve Singh on keyboards, and Joseph Shabason on sax.
