Christopher Merritt - Imaginary Colors
Coming down off his jungle-ish menagerie of twitch-rich sounds heard on last year’s Spirit Quest album, Christopher Merritt comes out from behind his Crystal Palace (moniker) to bring you Imaginary Colors. So sit back, relax, and enjoy creating the most vivacious piece of mind you’ve ever been lead to perceive. Feed the seeds of your thoughts and dreams in licks of strawberry and levity. Pretend that the floating sensation is only in your mind. Notes spliced into a mazed-out landscape, where the Minotaur serves you plate after plate of swelled tones and spilt electronics, swirling in a bowl full of reverberation. Yet, Christopher beckons the notion of patience throughout each prism on Imaginary Colors, easing the tension of the daily stresses we all face, bubbling joy within anticipation, and calmly settling the seems that leak into all of us. Hands-on or –off, Imaginary Colors is much more than just a cassette tape on Orange Milk, but a gateway to inner relaxation through Christopher Merritt’s telepathic sounds and psychic modular arrangements. - CM
