The first moments of our 2018 compilation Technicolor Paradise set a mood like few others. A bulging piano pounds out a simple chord followed by two minutes of epic guitar noodling. The vibe is surf, but not quite. If wave riding was more of a seated than standing activity, and less wet. And preferably with a high ball of Scotch, neat. That first disc, Daiquiri Dirges, examines that complicated latitude of exotica and primitive rock n’ roll, guitar music that was more rolling blue waves than rocking breaks.
While the Technicolor Paradise box set has been long out of print, 70 loose copies of Daiquiri Dirges emerged from our Chicago Warehouse while cleaning up our inventory for @paved_paradise. Grab yours before they're gone forever this time.
