Music for Perfect People

Christopher Powell is one busy man. Not only is he the drummer for Man Man, but he also teaches percussion lessons in the Philly area, has played with the bands Need New Body, the Chewables, and Icy Demons, and runs his own record label, Obey Your Brain. As if that wasn’t enough, Powell has released “Xenon,” which is the debut single from his new project Spaceship Aloha and features intergalactic synths, futuristic loops, and a subtle Hawaiian influence.

“Xenon” will be featured on Spaceship Aloha’s debut Universe Mahalo EP.

Last time we brought you music from Monster Rally, the weather was hot and the tropical loops that were featured on the release EP were a perfect way to relax through the heat. Now, the weather is getting pretty damn cold and as a reminder that summer will, in fact, return to us one day, Monster Rally has released 3 new psychedelic tracks from the forthcoming, limited edition, 12″ LP, Coral. Make sure to grab a copy in January 2011 through Gold Robot Records.
