Corbu is a lucid dream you never want to wake up from. A memory of faded colors. Warm light behind a neon sculpture. The green hue of the sky before an afternoon storm. A game of hide and seek.

CORBU
Corbu is a lucid dream you never want to wake up from. A memory of faded colors. Warm light behind a neon sculpture. The green hue of the sky before an afternoon storm. A game of hide and seek. The thoughts you have that don't make sense, moments before you fall asleep. All of these seemingly mundane yet beautifully ordinary everyday experiences exist inside the universe that is Corbu and their debut LP, 'Crayon Soul,' due for release in spring 2016.
At times hazy and psychedelic, and at others glittering and electronic, 'Crayon Soul' was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Neon Indian, The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala) and is littered with rising choruses that wash in and out over building bass lines like moving tides. The LP is the staggering follow up from two earlier EPs, 'We Are Sound' (2014), and 'Everything You Imagine Is Real' (2015) which drew attention from BBC Radio One's Zane Lowe, garnered a remix request from Jesse Ware, and hype from the likes of NYLON, Stereogum, The Guardian, NME and more.
Fronted by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Graves, accompanied by his creative partner Amanda, drummer Todd Hoellerman, and a rotating cast of musicians for a live experience, Corbu began when Jonathan started having lucid dreams at age 12. That, and when he heard 'Sgt. Pepper's' from the backseat of his parents' car. Together, Jonathan and Amanda create an all-encompassing synesthetic experience -- music to transport you somewhere else.

THE GALAXY ELECTRIC
Cosmically tribal with a mixture of bossanova, psychedelia, and the energy of revolution, their music sets the mood for explorations in space.
Utilizing lo-fi recording techniques, sound design-infused arrangements, and primitive reverb and echo devices, The Galaxy Electric forge their unique sonic palette. Dusty tapes, overly saturated images, and a sense of nostalgia for the way we used to hope things would be encompass the spirit of this endeavor. Let Jacqueline whisk you away with her song bird-like vocals, while Augustus mans the controls of his static emitting devices and let their retro-futuristic pop tunes take you to the next dimension.
