Zechs Marquise - Getting Paid (2011)

With three brothers in this band all sharing

the surname of Rodriguez-Lopez, you might

feel you have some idea of what this album

will sound like.

Although having the same impressive technical

chops evident in ATDI & The Mars Volta, this

is a much airier, lighter affair. As winter drags

on here in the UK, Zechs Marquise is the sound

of the summer - prog-funk anyone? The guitar

sound that we love from the magic hands of Omar

is here but played with a more delicate touch.

Horns, latin rhythms and a fluid composition style

help meld this mix of prog/psych, Parliament funk

madness into a streamlined album that is a lot of fun.

If you are after something to help throw off the shackles

of winter and you are not expecting to violently headbang

all the way through, get a copy.
