PRISM TATS
For the newly acquainted, Prism Tats is the rock 'n roll creation of musician Garett van der Spek; a project that pulls from various visual and musical inspirations to create waking dream sub-realities that devastate and elate. The debut album is a culmination of a creative life spent on the grind, honing instincts and eventually going all-in on a singular dream.
Prism Tats was written and recorded in its entirety by van der Spek, featuring his own extraordinary vocals, drum machine, guitar, and bass synth - the work of a true one-man rock 'n roll machine. He grew up in Durban, South Africa listening to his fathers collection of rock records from the U.K. and U.S.: Beatles, Bowie, Hendrix, Kinks, Sabbath. The unique influence of his homeland burns deeply, too. My earliest memory of being affected by music was when I was six years old, seeing a man busking by the side of the road, van der Spek recalls. His name was Elvis, a self-styled African rock star who played a hybrid brand of rock and roll on a homemade guitar. I was hooked.
The album displays van der Speks unusual blend of rock-and-roll chops (reminiscent at times of Spoons Britt Daniel), and combines real shades of steam and heat with comparatively-meditative reverb-laden tracks, recalling at times the ghostly throwback groove-stomp and fuzzy warmth of bands like The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Kills and The Raveonettes.

GENTLE SPIRIT
San Francisco's Gentle Spirit, the project of San Franciscan Marcus Stoesz, brings us the sweet "Ram Van" video. A twinkling ode to lost friends, loved ones, and, heartbreakingly, pets, "Ram Van" is a procession of Bay Area scenery and computer-screen goofiness cut with shots of Stoetz himself and, at one point, an annoyed-looking cat.
