Chris Joss 'Telephonic Overdubs'
French producer/instrumentalist Chris Joss returns amidst a whirlwind of vintage funk and psychedelic retro-futurisms with his second US release, Teraphonic Overdubs. This time Joss adds some new surprises to his trademark blaxploitation soundscapes, painting the musical canvas with broad strokes of lush, multi-layered instrumentation. String arrangements, woodblock and cowbell rhythms, near eastern flutes and sitars, and even a marimba and harpsichord play alongside classic wah-wah guitars, elastic bass-lines, and dusty organ riffs give Teraphonic a very different sound than his previous release, You've been Spiked. This is the second Chris Joss release on Thievery Corporation's ESL label.
