The : :' second album in less than a year from those lovable New Jersey ': ,: moptops with the sweet twin guitars, Natural Facts provides a :, : portal to the carefree place that both indie rock and jam bands : :' forgot, and a handy alternative to whatever you may need an ': ,: alternative from. Bolstering the summer glow of 2018Æs Cosmic :, : Cash with flashes of fuzz, teeth, and power, Natural Facts is a : :' natural progression for Garcia Peoples. ': ,: :, : The more driving counterpart to its rural predecessor, Danny : :' Arakaki and Tom MalachÆs guitars remain at centerstage on ': ,: machine gun shreds like the album-opening ôFeel So Greatö and :, : the rolling grooves like ôHigh Noon Violenceö (which would fit : :' right in with one of David CrosbyÆs early æ70s studio ': ,: supergroups). Playing cleanly articulated lines that perhaps :, : recall any number of other guitar tandems--Allman/Betts, : :' Verlaine/Lloyd, Jansch/Renbourn--Garcia PeoplesÆ guitars are ': ,: most influenced by the sound of two guys hanging out, figuring :, : out how to play guitar together. : :' ': ,: With Derek Spaldo (bass) and Cesar Arakaki (drums), the quartet :, : is joined on roughly half the tracks by keyboardist Pat Gubler : :' (PG6, Wet Tuna, Tower Recordings), who--since contributing to ': ,: Natural Facts--has become a frequent auxiliary Garcia. On the :, : quieter passages of ôPatient World,ö GublerÆs zones set Tom and : :' DannyÆs entwinements into an atmosphere that suggests what the ': ,: briefly-lived never-recorded Barrett/Gilmour Pink Floyd lineup :, : might have done, given another few years. : :' ': ,: Discovering the secret and perhaps even endangered language of :, : riffs, Danny and Tom formed Garcia Peoples in Rutherford, New : :' Jersey in 2011 or 2012, depending when you ask). And over the ': ,: past year and change, Garcia Peoples have hit launching speed, :, : writing albumsÆ worth of material too fast to release. While : :' Natural Facts is the perfect introduction to the bandÆs ': ,: light-footed cosmic Americana, itÆs only one piece of an :, : emerging picture that perhaps Garcia Peoples donÆt even quite : :' see yet. The tapers have started showing up for Garcia Peoples, ': ,: too, keeping track of the evolving song suites. Despite only :, : having one official full-length under their belt, the band : :' barely repeated a song over their four shows during their ': ,: weekly residency at BrooklynÆs Wonders of Nature. Depending on :, : when youÆre reading this, the next Garcia Peoples show will : :' almost certainly contain pieces of album #3 and quite probably ': ,: #4, too. :, : : :' ItÆs been a small, happy wonder to watch Garcia Peoples ': ,: transmit themselves to the outside world. From up close, theyÆre :, : almost too omnipresent to keep track of, playing frequently, and : :' out watching shows around Brooklyn on nearly any other given ': ,: night. Honing their chops first at their respective parentsÆ :, : places, playing until they had to unplug for the night, Arakaki : :' and Malach would inevitably retire to the 7-11 parking lot. ': ,: There, they pieced together the emerging jams, fragments, :, : verses, and other stray ideas they had yet to write, until--at : :' least in the Garciaverse--they coalesced into distinct albums. ': ,: Then they just had to record them. As of this writing, theyÆre :, : only one album behind. Like a road map with constantly changing : :' coordinates, the GarciasÆ master plan is only barely that, but ': ,: they plunge into the next territory with an infectious :, : enthusiasm. : :' ': ,: Tracked in Philadelphia with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War on :, : Drugs, Mary Lattimore), Natural Facts isnÆt a throwback, as much : :' as Garcia Peoples sometimes accidentally sound like a band one ': ,: might stumble into at New YorkÆs late Wetlands Preserve in the :, : mid-æ90s. Rather, itÆs a newly emerging conversation, songs and : :' structures and solos and duos drawing from the latest and most ': ,: right-on musicians to cross Garcia PeepsÆ collective transom. :, : : :' The classic rock guitarists of yore might be obvious subsequent ': ,: touchstones, but bend your ear and newer colors emerge, :, : generated from hours and years of talk and music. Listen close. : :' Nothing inorganic here, just pure Natural Facts.
