Maston - Shadows

lparcshinoda

Review by Marco Bortone

The album Shadows by Maston is an ethereal and dreamy experience that transports the listener to a world of hazy melodies and haunting vocals. The album is a perfect blend of psychedelic rock, folk, and electronic music that creates a unique sound that is both captivating and mesmerizing.

The opening track, "Swans," sets the tone for the album with its gentle guitar strumming and soft vocals. The song is a perfect introduction to Maston's sound, which is characterized by its dreamy, atmospheric quality. The album's standout track, "Tulips," is a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Maston's talent for creating intricate and layered arrangements.

Throughout the album, Maston explores themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics are poetic and introspective, adding to the album's overall sense of introspection and reflection. The album's closing track, "Shadows," is a fitting end to the journey, with its melancholic piano melody and haunting vocals.

About Maston

Multi-instrumentalist Frank Maston grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, soaking in both the summery atmosphere and the musical and cultural history of his surroundings. Early on, Maston developed a love for the sunny chamber pop of Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson, as well as more California-inspired moments of rock magic from Harry Nilsson and Phil Spector. He eventually sculpted these influences into what would become his own music, a completely self-sufficient menagerie of dark pop sounds informed by '60s and '70s studio magicians and loner geniuses. Shadows Beginning in 2011, Maston put out a series of cassette albums, using his own last name as the moniker for his one-man band. In 2012, he signed to Chicago label Trouble in Mind, which released his proper full-length debut, Shadows, the next year. He meanwhile played keyboards for Jacco Gardner, joining him for extended periods in the Netherlands. Maston's experiences touring and living abroad lent a European influence to his second album, which took particular inspiration from French and Italian film music. Adjusting his focus from Wilson and Spector to the likes of Morricone and Legrand, Maston released Tulips on his own Phonoscope label in 2017. -Fred Thomas, AllMusic

There's a really weird local radio station I call 'the alien station.' That's where I found this song. When they're not playing sounds - strange beeping, metallic banging & mumbling, they're playing nice obscure stuff!
