Are you in the mood for stimulating #psychedelic #dance #music to boost your energy when video gaming, jet-start your studying for finals, or spice up a moment of intimacy? The #Chameleon #Project will give you a medley of soundscapes to furnish that quiet environment, from groove-based #jazz, #disco, #funk to #reggae and #experimental #rock. This Toronto-based quartet's album … if it takes all night takes you on a smooth, otherworldly detour into experiencing #techno tangled with jazz, soft-spoken prophetic asides dispersing left and right, and #electronic sounds driving you into a delirium of wild emotion.
Your mind will undergo some flexing and bending with "Painkiller" and "Pursue With Happiness," both of which carry a road-trip adventure vibe where you're cruising down easy street with your swagger on and nothing can drag you down. "Dear Old Stockholm" also evokes these exact feelings through sunshiny drifts, twists and turns while demonstrating a need for speed at an F1 Grand Prix setting.
When "Waiting & Hallucinating" premieres, its fluidity is comparable to a whirlpool destined to swallow you whole. And the background bubble-popping noises make an effort to keep you afloat before you find yourself landing on "Eris," a track abducting your mind to a celestial plane harbouring a slow tempo and mellow tone. Then, the electric guitar buzzes in for a spell, delivering a riff scribbling excitably into each one of your ears.
Around the corner, "Dancefloor Love Affair" waltzes in and you sway and swoon in response to its kaleidoscope of changing melodic colours. To knock you off your feet, there's "Heaven in the Afternoon (Pt. 2)" blowing out smoke and steam, exhaling "ahh" in ecstasy and "mmm" with erotic intention. On the other hand, "Pullin' Teeth," "The Kingsley James Dubplate Special" and "Eris (Jamie Kidd's 'Boss n' Grind' Remix)" each play a role in the game of mind distortion. Besides certain elements sounding stomped under the pressure of incessant drum pounding, there also lies a plethora of screeches and beeps, rewinds and stops just waiting to creep and pounce on you, their chameleon-camouflage no longer elusive.
Now, as the opening track "Experiment Intro" instructs us, let's dreamily "close your eyes and let your ears listen" to what The Chameleon Project has to serve on an intergalactic-silver platter. And let's delight in chowing down this musical treat, even if it takes all night.
