LA Based rockers Populuxe Bring a retro but fresh sound! #Flyah Review

Check out the latest from LA-based indie rockers Populuxe. Their ear-catching, R&B-touched jams and soulful lyrics bring to mind disparate, but wonderful acts like Spoon and Curtis Mayfield.

A blend between rock and soul sounds, Populuxe display a combination unorthodox in modern and contemporary genre of music. Listening to the music makes you feel like the air is lifting you off the ground and giving a bird's eye view of today's times. The single "Where Did I Go Wrong" asks a question of when did life take a terrible turn. A metaphoric expression using the concept of cause and effect yet in a perspective of disaster. Sometimes when placed in a situation a person tends to ask the specific question on how the world is changing fast upon them. The cover even details this concept; using an egg shell that hatches new life yet the egg shell is broken.

Their newest LP, Beauty in the Broken Place, is a concept album, bordering on rock opera turf - a wide scope, high fidelity sweep grounded by a collective love of Curtis Mayfield, Sly Stone, and Stevie Wonder, and held aloft by an equal love for the complex, shiny dirt of King Crimson, Zappa and Zeppelin; it’s warm and close, with the humanism, defiance, and clear-eyed compassion that defined much of the rock and R&B records of the early 70’s.

The multi-faceted LP holds a mirror to the current Western cultural crisis through the prism of the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre on October 27, 2018, when Shabbat morning services were interrupted by a terrorist assault, resulting in 11 dead and 7 injured. “It’s an event that clearly has much broader implications,” band Spearhead Rob Shapiro reflects. “The massacre hit me hard, and I was incredibly moved when people congregated in Prospect Park that night and spontaneously sang Kaddish (the Jewish prayer of mourning.) That was the moment when the title sort of announced itself to me (“beauty in the broken place”), and within hours I started writing, and then the material and arc just started to pour out. I did my best to ride the biggest wave I ever caught.”

Beauty in the Broken Place opens a realm of poetry foreshadowing both positive and negative in which all aspects of life is recorded through riffs of guitars percussion and other melodic instruments. Deep messages are meant to be heard from an artist or band and are in line of invoking emotion with such creative insight; Populuxe really bring these elements out in their songs which make them a unique group. The album sticks to its themes and even has tracks in between that set the atmosphere of being in darkness. If i had to rate Populuxe on a scale of 1 to 10, i'll give it a 8 for originality a clear message and awesome delivery.

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

Q: What's it like growing up in Mpls? Does the city have interesting stories about Prince? A: I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it. Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis. I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis. Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows. Prince put us on the map for music. I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota. I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories. I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

Den Edie Flyah interveiw So could you tell us a little bit about your upbringing in Ohio? I was sent to guitar leasons by my parents when I was 10 years old. My uncle lived with us back in Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement. I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously? When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.) It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do. To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song. I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood. Being a Singer
