Rainbow Quartz, a New York based label, mainly releases psych-pop albums. The label has a hefty sized stable of artists and bands and is a much needed presence on the current music scene.Over the next week Hendo Bendo will feature a few of the artists on Rainbow Quartz and its sister label, Turquoise Mountain. If you like what you hear, the label's site contains links to a few tracks by each of the its bands, but more importantly, go out and purchase an album or two or three so this label can persist in releasing cool tunes by worthwhile artists.
We start with Denise James and a track from her 2006 release Promises titled tonight it's allright. Denise
James is from Detroit by way of Paris. The album was produced by Matthew Smith of Outrageous Cherry and The Volebeats and engineered by Jim Diamond. Denise James is not the typical Rainbow Quartz artist. Her music leans more towards poppy singer-songwriting stuff than sun-bursting psych and for that reason Denise James has made some pleasant Sunday listening.
