| A puzzle box is an old Japanese style of concealing or hiding the mechanism that allows the user to find a way to open it. The art of the puzzle box could be compared to the art of the “The Misteriosos”. Upon a first listen comparisons to various Psych/Garage bands could be observed however this unit is much more complex. Deep within its grains lurks discovery and treasure. Open up your mind and get ready to clean your third eye. Swirling around your cranium apparent influences are The Velvet Underground meets The Fuzztones. On a deeper level Tula Storm’s, voice sounds similar to Kendra Smith (Opal). Her vocals possess a haunting quality that hovers in your head similar to the way the bite of a nice red wine lingers on your tongue. JellyRoll’s guitar, vocals, and harmonica are equivalent to a carpenter’s tool in so much he is able to create ornate fuzzed out sounds similar to the artisan creating the ultimate puzzle box. Skeeter’s drums fill in the void making this one tenacious outfit. |
