Singing In Tongues
Artist: Eccodek
Label: Big Mind/Black
Swan Sounds
Release Date: May 6, 2014
Duration: 9 tracks, 46:52
Eccodeck’s sixth release, Singing In Tongues, continues to
impress with true world music sounds touching on Middle East, to African, to
South American. Adding to this impressive sound is a host of collaborative
influences from hip-hop’s MC Yogi to LA-based drummer Morgan Doctor. While
Eccodek is known for its electronica, this collection shows seductive acoustic
balance and highly emotional offerings.
While “Village In Me” has the Chicano-like feel of related
‘70s music, “In Confidence” showcases a complicated and stirring melody. “My
Primitive Heart” has acoustic backing with light percussion and slight
electronica mixing English and Spanish lyrics which so accurately display the
refrain ‘love is a mystery’. “In My Tribe” is similar in presence with an
earthy quality. “Permission To Speak” puts a final touch to the album with
haunting melody.
Singing In Tongues captures a world sound effortlessly
putting the listener in a unique place emotionally and geographically.
