Boom Shadow

Boomshadow is a fictional character concocted by Moschella and friends nearly a decade ago. He's a super hero of sorts who didn't have a specific power, but would just come onto the scene and save everyone. As such, this album launches with a super hero-like frenetic flying kick to the eardrums, followed by raw, angular funk rock, more soulful sounds, and tracks with a cosmic bounce. Moschella's songs are more personal on this release, and his production has more boom. His unique homemade beats and unexpected embellishments are now backed with a fuller orchestration, and his arrangements are more dynamic. Moschella co-wrote and sings on Kiss the Sky, a collaboration with Shawn Lee which has appeared in the FX show Damages. Look for him at SXSW. RIYL: Jamie Lidell, Shuggie Otis, Prince, Sly Stone, Beck.
