Modes & Severson – Midnight Exotics [CHANNEL064]
In typical Golf Channel fashion, this collaborative 12″ from Detroit native Todd Modes and Heroes of The Galleon Trade guitarist Mike Severson offers the perfect balance between left-of-centre experimentation, and disco-influenced dancefloor grooves. This is first evident on the baggy, slightly psychedelic stoner disco throb of “Midnight Exotics”, where Severson’s hazy guitar passages and beat boxing style vocal samples ride a trippy, disco-rock groove. Flipside “Disco Desire” pushes the intensity level up several notches. This time, Severson offers up wild, heavy metal-inspired guitar solos, which build in intensity over Modes’ pulsating, italo-influenced backing track.
