The Constellations-Southern Gothic Album Review

leave a comment


You know how like a group picks up attention from locals and media and has this awesome organic originality to it that makes you smile and feel proud and grateful that such talent and creativity has come from your city and has been signed to a label and toured with Snoop Dogg? That’s pretty awesome. And that’s pretty much what’s going on with The Constellations. I tell you, there are a lot of people in that band but I’m always expecting 12…. because of the name and all and I think that maybe they rotate in and out like Wu-Tang because I never see 12 and then I think that the name has nothing to do with group numbers but something else. I should re-read theinterview We did with them, I’m sure the answer is in there somewhere.

Does anyone else find it strange that The Claremont has been deemed not fit for habitation but the Lounge is still open? I was really confused about that when we got an invite to the CD release party these kids had the other night.

Speaking of which. Great album. The sound is refreshing, nostalgic, creepy, fun, lovable and sentimental. They have a distinct sound and it’s all over the album. It’s very rich. I wonder what their creative and production process is like with all those heads involved. There are a few features. Cee-lo’s fits perfectly but Asher Roth’s is kinda like, needs to be shaken up because it’s starting to separate and float to the top like italian salad dressing. It doesn’t help that it’s on the track that I’ve heard tons live and I’m pretty sure his verse wasn’t played.

I recommend downloading it and adding it to your playlist. Be sure to listen to it so you can be all “I remember when!” when these kids are all over magazine covers and on the VMA’s and like everyone is on their nut wanting to be featured on a track or wanting them to collab on their tracks and be in movies for relevant reasons and doing the talk show circuit and getting followed by the paparazzi…

Maybe you missed our January post suggesting that you get your tickets for the xx and jj early and you’ve been shut out. It’s okay really. Wednesday night might turn out to be the best single night for live music in Atlanta in some time. Even with two popular venues (The Variety [...]

THE CONSTELLATIONS // SETBACK

I didn’t even know this video was out but I’m somewhere in the crowd waving my hands and bowing someone in the face, while backflipping from the ass of a very blessed woman . . . good times. So most of that was a lie but I’m definitely in there, I was [...]
