I’m doing what I can to spread the word about Paul A Rosales and all of his projects. This video was done for his Wonder Wheel project, which is a band that recently finished their 23rd (yes, you read that correctly: TWENTY THIRD) release entitled “Brave New World”.
This video was put together by Francesco de Gallo using the film “The Detour”. I think that the juxtaposition of the song with the film noir snippets works really well. The echoed delirium of Rosales’ vocals add a new dimension to the earnest glares of the actors staring directly into the camera, deep in thought. Imagining that this is what is going through their heads really brings something new to the picture. Take a look, and a listen. This video functions as a preview of the Wonder Wheel release “Brave New World”.
You can grab Paul’s album “Wonder Wheel I” at the Care in the Community records site. Also Wonder Wheel can be found online here and here, and Paul can be found here.
Also! Check these guys out on KXLU 88.9 FM in Los Angeles Friday, August 20, 2010 at 5 PM Pacific time (8PM Eastern). Listen here.

I write reviews for groovemine.com as well as tympanogram.com. This site will collect everything that I write for those sites, as well as posts that are exclusive. Mostly reviews of albums and EPs of new independent music with sample songs and a few links to help you purchase the albums that are reviewed. Album reviews typically delve pretty deep and can range anywhere from 700 to 2,500 words depending on how much there really is to say about the album. I try to analyze the music in as many ways as I can before writing and typically will listen to anything that is reviewed at the very least 10 times before committing anything to writing.
I'm a bit insane.
