The '90s seemed to have been the decade of lo-fi meets high profile, but once the hype goes, the music remains and, in the right hands, finds sharp new practitioners. Thus Elephant Micah, real name Joe O'Connell, whose third full album (counting the very limited CD-Rom release Untied States of Elephant Micah) is an hour-long meditation in the form. By which is meant: recorded at home, guitar-based, soft wheezing keyboards, reflective and sometimes melancholic lyrics, with singing to match. Part of the appeal after a slew of such releases in past years is contextual, admittedly -- after the rise in popularity of essentially one-man-bands like Dashboard Confessional and Bright Eyes, it's nice to hear someone take things in a more cryptic and somewhat less strident vein. Also, for all the complaints about fetishizing such recording as an end to itself, as opposed to simply a cheap medium, there's no denying both the appeal of murkily beautiful arrangements ("Turned Up the Stardom" and "Flannery's Frizzled Chicken"), and the production to make things even more so. O'Connell himself aims for a gentle variety in turn -- "Rhode Island Reds" and "Immune to Amusement" have fuller arrangements, including drums, that cut through just a touch more strongly, while "A Vocabulary" has a distinctly clear and crisp quality to it. It's also interesting hearing slightly unexpected parallels creep through, most specifically plenty of country slide guitar (but without the alt country atmosphere per se -- the banjo on the slyly titled "Mt. Neil Young" comes close, though). The lazy, drowsy guitar and general pace on "Deliver Us From Broken Glass" calls to mind Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You," one of the album's nicest touches. It's not a perfect album through and through -- some of the songs feel a bit too laid-back and minimal, nice enough sketches that don't quite resolve. But Your Dreams Are Feeding Back is still an enjoyable listen. ~ Ned Raggett

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars winning wisted folk , and country low fi
For fans of Neil Young, this is not a copyist, but someone digging the same tortured vein as Neil. This though is more trippy, some of the fragile lyrics seem to be crashing down on desert floor, unheeded. Class stuff , greta Americana for anyone, regardless if hey like Neil or not.

Of the dozens of grunge (or "heavy alternative") bands that emerged in the wake of Nirvana's success, one of the few that managed anything close to Kurt Cobain's emotional resonance was Local H.

The Biography of Steven B.

Steven Busch a.k.a. Dizazta indeed is everywhere. He recorded the title track for John Singleton's acclaimed film "Car Jacking". He created music for such television shows as "Fear Factor", Elimidate", "It's Christopher" and more. He was signed to Chris Stokes management team with Jackie "Jackpot" Wynn as the duo Poetic Punishment until a mutual separation agreement was reached. Poetic Punishment signed with Flatbroke Records and recorded three hits for the acclaimed compilation "Return of the West" which sold over 100,000 copies. After a hasty departure by the owners of Flatbroke Records Dizazta saw that the only way to accomplish any of his goals was to establish his own label. Dizazta Area Music, Inc. (D.A.M.) was launched in 1998 with Dizazta joining ASCAP in 1999 and creating his own publishing company soon after. The first album, from his newly formed label, was "Dizazta Strikes" which boasted timeless hits like "Brothers Killing Brothers", "Why?", "Her Wicked Ways", and "Are You Single" featuring V-Love (one of the first artists signed to D.A.M.) The buzz and success of this pioneer venture lead Dizazta to embark upon other areas of interest - film, fashion and television. He partnered with Mohamed Macauley to help create a new culture for the world. Together they brought and continue to bring memorable and fascinating ideas and images to the publics' eye. Not wanting to be away from the music scene too long Dizazta was back in the studio with his team of producers creating his sophomore release. "The Problem and The Answer" took a philosophical look at the often neglected parts of society while being coupled with the rhythmic pulse of the streets and at the same time offering real solutions. Blazing with hits like "Rage", "Why Do We Die So Young?", "Drive Me Wild", "What If?" and "Checkmate" "The Problem and The Answer" album was set to redefine hip hop. It was slated to be the first QUADRUOPLE album ever but was decidedly broken up into five volumes. Due to the tremendous response of "Dizazta Strikes" and the growing recognition of D.A.M. "The Problem and The Answer" Vol. I was released in over 2400 stores, CDBaby , BestBuy , Dizazta , Amazon , iTunes and many other internet distribution sites. Dizazta has had many negative experiences with the traditional RIAA music industry model which does not always give the artist all the recognition they deserve. Together with Mr. Macauley they have sought out non-traditional forms of promotions, marketing and advertising with the ultimate goal of redefining ...
