Side Effects with Saxomaphone
Have you heard the new El Jezel CD "The Warm Frequency"?
Have you downloaded "the champagne & cold coffee EP" free from their website which D posted about in May?
If you've seen El Jezel live, you've probably heard the song "Side effects"
which is my favorite of the 4 song EP. They rock the f*** out when they play this "scorching ode to paranoia" live, and on the studio version they get a bit more experimental, with guest saxophonist Felipe from the band Cholo.
I love it.
This song reminds me a bit of the "Buena" cover they often pull out live to let George unleash the furious side of his vocals (how about a studio version of that one, guys?), but it's still a sound all their own.
These kids have been at it for a few years playing their songs to fellow New York indie-rockers, and fine-tuning their sound, and they only seem to be picking up more steam as time goes by. I hope the steady stream of good tunes never runs out for them.

I've heard it now, thanks to you. Great pick! Being surrounded by old man Japanese songs and vintage funk, it is good to hear from a reliable source what things are evolving in Brooklyn these days.
I still mellow out to El Jezel's cover of "Tuesday Night" walking to and from school down a long stretch of asphalt bordered on all sides by rice fields, if I turned it on I was back home. Now I have something new to chew on.
