For that record, :, : McCombs made his television debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show : :' and was featured in The New York TimesÆ Sunday Arts & Leisure ': ,: section. It was named a ôBest Rock Album of the Yearö by :, : Pitchfork, featured in the Washington PostÆs ôBest Music of : :' 2016,ö plus many other best of 2016 lists, and was his overall ': ,: most critically praised album. :, : : :' While most of McCombs albums have been pieced together in ': ,: different studios over an extended period of time, Tip of the :, : Sphere was recorded quickly and with a strong sense of purpose : :' at Shahzad IsmailyÆs Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn. This new ': ,: approach for McCombs brought his songs a raw immediacy and a :, : special balance of compassion and experimentation with the : :' intent of making a more consistent statement. The rock songs ': ,: have more fervor, the ballads are more beautiful, the :, : explorations more confident; the sounds of jazz and Latin music : :' creep in through the back window. Engineered by Sam Owens (aka ': ,: Sam Evian), Tip of the Sphere features the core band of McCombs :, : (guitar, vocals), Dan Horne (bass), Otto Hauser (drums) and : :' Frank LoCrasto (piano, organ, and more), plus a range of ': ,: guests. :, : : :' Tip of the Sphere recounts what has unfolded in the wake of ': ,: Mangy LoveÆs pre-inaugural prophetic themes. It presents an :, : artist trying to make sense of it all through a relentless, ever : :' searching creative process. Throughout Tip of the Sphere, ': ,: McCombs floats through a suite of songs driven by a journeying :, : mysticism and dark grace. The thematic centerpiece of the album, : :' ôSleeping Volcanoes,ö is a rousing, rock and roll number that ': ,: uses a distinct lyrical approach to intensify the narrative. On :, : the main refrain, a key phrase of the song is repeated : :' continuously and taken through its possible meanings, almost ': ,: like a jazz musician repeating a musical phrase through key and :, : chord changes. As described by McCombs, ôSleeping Volcanoesö is : :' about ôpeople passing each other on the sidewalk unaware of the ': ,: emotional volatility they are brushing past, like a sleeping :, : volcano that could erupt at any moment.ö : :' ': ,: The æCastillo de la EsferaÆ is featured inside the vinyl edition :, : of Tip of the Sphere. æThe æCastillo de la Esferaæ was created : :' by fellow Northern California artist and contemporary Tahiti ': ,: Pehrson as an homage to Brion GysinÆs dream machine. When the :, : æCastillo de la EsferaÆ is placed on top of the record player, : :' and as the record is played (with or without a lightbulb ': ,: cantilevered in the center), thoughts are encouraged to wander. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
