7
July's album is ready for consumption! We called it '7' as it's the seventh album this year, in the seventh month of the year, and contains seven songs!.....we used the number as opposed to the word because numbers are powerful symbols and magical totems! A collection of seven rad songs, featuring the surprise hit single "The Cosmic Ladies" , which is big in Japan!

Myriad
Heigh ho! The seventh and final song for July is here! This is our vision of what happens when a space rock band plays breakbeats..... with drums, bass, synth, synth bass, guitar, the Cordovox White Elephant, and a bit of the 'Amen Brother' drum break.

McDonalds??? 2
The early 2000s were a strange time, a time that saw McDonalds branch out into all sorts of ventures, including the ill fated Insane Clown Posse tribute band, 'RonSane Clown Party'........they played at haunted houses and graveyards, Halloween themed parties and speakeasy nightclubs, rocking the crowds with their own brand of McDonalds themed ICP songs. They had a licensing deal with ICP whereupon they could use any of their songs in exchange for all you can eat Big Macs......however, ICP began abusing that privilege, handing out thousands and thousands of the iconic burgers to their faithful army of Juggalos......that led to the whole deal being scrapped, and us being left with only this picture and the vague memories of horrible songs about the Hamburglar and Mayor McCheese..........rock on!

Follow You Down
Here we present 'Follow You Down', the fourth track for July.....this song began life as a vocal melody, and has blossomed into what we feel is a great song! With Rhodes piano, regular piano, guitar, synth bass, and voices and lyrics.....
Tornado with two eyes in two sockets
I've waited just to follow you down
I am a distant man from a distant land
I am a distant man
I hope you understand
A brujo with some cosmic galoshes
I've waited just to follow you down
I feel so deeply that it scares me
I'm lost completely but I'm still free
A condor flying high with the magic
I've waited just to follow you down
Soft light of the morning
Forever comes your way
A rainbow shows us all of the secrets
That light holds when it shines in your eyes

Spectral Studios 9
A forgotten image of Spectral Studios circa 1867......note the lavender and the hand painted cosmic ceiling!....
For Nights of Love and Sadness
The third song for July was inspired by a night of love and sadness with a good friend. A simple and unassuming song without any bells and whistles. Featuring drums, bass guitars, piano, organ, mellotron violins, and weird flanging.........

Buckwheat and Wildflower
Song 2 for July presents 'Buckwheat and Wildflower'.....two types of dark and moderately dark honey. this song makes me think of honey, and all the colors and sticky sweetness associated with it. This song doesn't make a lot of sense melodically, but there is something compelling and captivating about it, so I'm releasing it here for anyone who needs to hear it.......with some nasty synth bass, drums, guitar, piano, strings, and clavinet, I hope you enjoy!

The Cosmic Ladies
Greetings! The first track for July is a doozy; a dance number called 'The Cosmic Ladies' which is part of my infinite ode to the marvelous and cosmic ladies that brighten my life and make the earth a wonderful place to be.....you know who you are! Thank you eternally and keep on keeping on.....with bass, drums, guitars, Rhodes piano, organ, and our best attempt at some BeeGees type harmonies. Love! Feel free to sing along with us; it's easy:
I lost the cosmic ladies
(all of them)
Please
Bring back the cosmic ladies
(I love them)
So
