The fact that dance and psychedelica don't bite is well demonstrated by the duo Brijean. Brijean Murphy is a DJ and has played as a percussionist with bands such as
Toro Y Moi and
Poolside. She met multi-instrumentalist and producer Doug Stuart, moving to Los Angeles together to form Brijean. Murphy's congas play a dominant role in the dance grooves set by Stuart under lighthearted and reverberating
… 1960s pop. But above all, it is Murphy's gentle and melodic voice that caresses the ears. On their third album Macro, Murphy and Stuart once again create their own dreamy world where dancing with eyes closed is the best motto. (MR)more
