I released a new album called Self Portrait Of Music and it's an experimental album where I mostly rap and sing a little bit. I tried my best to make this album an experience with my creativity, the lyrics are truthful and creative with observations. This album was inspired by Experimental Hip Hop, Rock and Roll, Also pop music. I sampled the sound of passionfruit rolling in a bowl and the sound of a bird and a power drill drilling.
small but mighty cd collection

LIsten To This: Candlebox-Candlebox (1993)
Synopsis:
The debut album from Candlebox was released on July, 20th 1993. It represented a change of the 90s alt rock sound. Moving away from the sludge aggressiveness of the grunge era. The album has more of a blues based pop rock energy. The album was a massive success selling over four million albums and charting with their big hits “You” and “Far Behind”
Review:
The album opens with “Don’t You” . It has this high energy hook. It just feels so heavy and aggressive. Kevin Martin’s soaring vocals and Peter Klett’s guitar work are highlights. “Change” has more of a melodic groove. It starts out so slow but just builds momentum throughout its runtime. “You” has become one of the best “Post” grunge anthems. It has this choppy yet chilled out groove. It inherits the slow/heavy/slow pace that was so popular in rock music at the time. I love the driving rhythms from Bardi Martin (Bass) and Scott Mercado (Drums). “No Sense” has a jazz based melodic groove. It feels so sharp and clean. “Far Behind” was the band’s big hit from the album. It feels more like a pop rock ballad than a heavy sludge track. “Blossom” experiments with some psychedelic rock troupes. It feels so chilled out and moody. “Arrow” hits hard with its aggressive groove. “Rain” introduces some bluesy riffs to the band’s post-grunge sound. It's a nice change of pace for the record. “Mother’s Dream” is the band’s most aggressive heavy and dense sounding song on the album. It feels more akin to the Seattle grunge sound than anything else on the record. “Cover Me” is this moody emotional ballad but it still contains some 90’s dense rock melodies. The album closes with “He Comes Home” is this moody introspective track that rather than gain momentum it just fades aways to end the record.
Final Thoughts:
This is just a great post-grunge rock record. It is filled with great hooks and melodies. The band sometimes gets some flack for being a grunge wannabe but I will defend this album until my dying breath. I just love it. I feel some realness in the band and its unfair it gets clumped into some of the mediocrity that followed some of the rock music in the mid-90’s. Unfortunately the band never reached the heights of this album again. Put this one on your bucket list to relive some 90’s rock glory.
