Multi-instrumentalist / singer / songwriter Todd Bowie has just released his debut album entitled Lucky Space People, a highly textured collection of eclectic pop that is sure to win over the most discerning musical tastes.
While Bowie's influences are many (Flaming Lips, Elliott Smith and Revolver-era Beatles among others), his unique approach and honest delivery distills the very essence of these many styles singularly into his own. From the bouncy pop of “Holiday Fun” to the driving anthemic chorus of “Eiffel” to the angst-ridden vocals that brings closure to the track “Justify,” the results are electrifying. Adding a broader spectrum of sonic color to his palette, this New Hampshire-native has also infused a bit of spicy boss nova (“Victoria”) and even a gliding waltz rhythm (“Karmaphobe”) into this well-rounded, yet decidedly off-center brand of indie rock. Toss in the more introspective numbers (“Could Be” and “Rise”) and what you have is one of the most unique and enjoyable albums to come around in quite some time.
