Nobody – And Everything Else (Plug Research)
This album finds Nobody (aka Elvin Estela) in transition and in regression, building on psychedelic themes apparent in his last album, yet revisiting his hip-hop roots as heard on hisdebut Soulmates (2000, Ubiquity Records). Nobody once again teams upwith Mystic Chords of Memory (Chris Gunst of Beachwood Sparks and JenCohen of the Aisler’s Set) and Farmer Dave Scher (Beachwood Sparks) who delivered the standout track on Pacific Drift, a beat heavy cover of theMonkees’ “Porpoise Song.” This time, they jump 30 years to cover one ofNobody’s favorite 90’s anthems, The Flaming Lips’ “What is the Light?“
