Dog Fashion Disco - Sweet Nothings (Rotten 2014)

September 8 2014 // Craig Carestia // Magazine // Music Reviews

Sweet Nothings is the seventh studio album from the freshly-reunited Maryland metal maestros, Dog Fashion Disco.

But that doesn't even begin to explain how eclectic this album is. A full detailed description of the audible influences would take much more than the few hundred words I've been allotted, so I'll try to sum it up like this:

Ocean Opera

June 20 2014 // Saturn De Los Angeles // Magazine // Features

Ocean Opera, script and music by Alex Gelfand, produced by Ah! La la Productions

A spontaneous ride that intersects heart, humour and soul.

Ocean Opera is a musical adventure in its own right. The treacherous waters we call life can be as scary. But after watching this play, you may want to consider these characters you'll see as your trusty companions to keep you alright on lonely nights. And dare I say, this journey never runs out of luscious rhythm and rhyme?
