Suite Crude Revue Owpoke Detox B/w Blue Ramen #1 Original Soundtrack

Suite Crude Revue is a rotating cast of outstanding performers committed to an unshackled aesthetic. Produced, composed, and arranged by Daniel Zelonky, this single presents songs for imagined films. "Cowpoke Detox" might be termed "spaghetti jazz". It's a strange hybrid of spaghetti western style baritone guitar lines supporting jazz noir harmonies, creating a surreal backdrop for the tale of an unrepentant murderer, who feels regret only in terms of the consequences he's facing. "Blue Ramen #1" is a lover's lament, set to what might be termed a "Hollywood samba": One imagines Los Angeles session players emulating samba for a commercial film, not an authentic Brazilian band. The lush aural environment culminates in a dreamy closing vamp with the impassioned vocal set amid a swirl of improvised trumpet, violin, and piano. This haunting, yet ironic song may well have found it's way into the popular consciousness... if the movie had actually existed! This record breaks the mold of history-conscious record making, eschewing the slavish copying of past styles which has become so common, and exemplifying the label's stated mission of "Reimagining a futuristic past" where "weird vistas of fresh possibilities unfold before us..." VERY limited edition on vinyl.
