Patiently
Awaiting the Meteorite – Electrified
On the
impending release of Patiently Awaiting the Meteorite’s flagship album Canyon
Diablo, the unit has dropped their first single, “Electrified.” The song is accompanied by an appropriately
psychedelic and totally trippy video that showcases everything from last 60s
style hallucinatory imagery to a funky 70s dance vibe dousing the musicians in
warping, changing Technicolor. It all
lines up perfectly with the song itself because musically and vocally speaking
it’s a call to arms to get bodies out of their seats and shaking madly with
whatever dance that comes to the top of their heads first.

Brimming with
pulsating, propelling bass licks, a locked-on percussive smack and numerous
swirls of synthesized light, it’s no wonder as to why fans of the group have
cited everything from Pink Floyd to Beck as a possible point of reference. Sung vocalist, lyricist and
multi-instrumentalist Dee and given light, shade and numerous other musical
tricks by the production team of the Grand Brothers, “Electrified” is
constantly shape-shifting and morphing into unusual rhythmic cadences, swaying
tempo changes and bold vocals that emphasize equal measures of melody, soul and
heart. There’s a rhythm n’ blues touch
to Dee’s booming pipes that convey his positive, almost 60s hippie movement
themed lyrics with ultraviolet life.
It’s a glorious display of changing and constantly varying brushstrokes
that take taut instrumentals but still manage to render them as “upbeat” and
“lively” when all is said and done.
The Grand
Brothers have already made a huge splash in the music industry and so has front
man Dee. The Brothers co-wrote and
co-produced BranVan3000’s surprise international hit single “Astounded” in
addition to co-producing BV3000’s full-length record, Discosis. This grand twosome has also sold over a
million units of their music worldwide.
Dee has had a successful career and has been produced prior by the Grand
Brothers on his second solo effort, Day by Day.
Together, this team-up obviously fits like a hand in a glove as the
music production and mixing are in complete congruence with one another throughout
the entire course of the “Electrified” single.
Every note and each individual quirk of sound mingles harmoniously and
the song builds to a rousing chorus that delivers the vocal goods purely and
powerfully. Anybody that’s lived a life
of sweat n’ swagger can jive with the working class funky swing that the music
brings to the table here.

All in all, Canyon
Diablo is already poised to be one of the finest albums of the year based on
the strength of this track. There’s
absolutely no reason for fans of everything from funk to soul to rock to rhythm
n’ blues and folks to not get on PATM’s bandwagon. These cats cook up one of the most
deliciously inventive musical brews currently going on today.
