The Prog Rock Wunderkind

September 24th, 2007
Fiore

LA-based record label Dgenetics Musics has been getting lots of press this summer, and for good reason: one of the four artists on their roster is prodigious seventeen-year-old Michael Fiore. Rather than putting out trendy electro-jams like his labelmates, though, Fiore recorded an EP of heady psychedelic rock -- a bold move in an era of short, hook-driven radio and blog singles.

The ten-minute Play Button Airplane Song is a great introduction to Fiore's music, even though he places it at the end of

; a jaunty bassline opens the song, airy vocals and vibraphone clash with a crushing, distorted '70s guitar around halfway, and the track wraps up with wild keyboard solos and beat-poet toms. Oh yeah: and he plays every instrument on the album.

Called a "hugely exciting prospect" by Pure Groove Digital and an artist whose music "both lyrically and sonically belies his years" by Pimp Magazine, Fiore is one of Amie Street's most talented and unique new artists.

    This album is meant to be heard from start to finish. Listening to individual tracks, though highly recommended, will not provide the full atmosphere of Gold We Hold.

    this is true
