Neptune Darlings: What to Expect [Updated!]
Friday, August 5, 2011 | 1 Comment Be prepared to be taken somewhere your mind has never been before.
Keith Mina and Ryan Oldcastle are, without a doubt, The Neptune Darlings. Their quintessential, cosmic energies and vibes will take you to places further than the stars on their debut record, Chestnuts Quite possibly, further than their home planet.
Mastered by legendary mastering engineer, George Marino, you'll be transported with big and beefy acoustics as you make your way through a clear trip amongst the stars atop a big, white puffy cloud riding slow and low.
Listeners of oldschool David Bowie and Pink Floyd, for starters, will have no problem hearing their influences weaved in and out of the nine (9) tracks that make up this erotic batch of tracks of electronic love.
No Caputo-laden record can be without the incredible, gorgeous, original and unique artwork of David Lupton. His talents have graced several of Keith Mina's past work, including "A Fondness for Hometown Scars." Lupton gets it, and quickly, by creating amazing art pieces which seamlessly match the moods and the messages that come across. And with 'Chestnuts,' Lupton once again brings it home. It's no wonder Keith Mina doesn't turn to anyone else. Beautiful work, David! We love your contributions each and every time. You can check out David's portfolio at http://www.david-lupton.com to find more seriously amazing work on his website.
This is indeed geek rock, and without a doubt, at its finest.
