Twins Jenni and Amanda Price have broken away from being back up singers for great bands such as Keegan Smith, Marv Ellis, and Pilar French to create their own unique sound. The release of "Electric Sol" encapsulates their decades long progress as musicians.
Soul, electronica, heavy rock, and so many other genres of music are hinted at or straight blasted into your ears from this unique album. Now a 5 piece band with their own sound Acoustic Minds have made a complete departure from acoustic only to fully embrace the electronic soul music on the new album.
During the Acoustic Minds interview on KPSU, Jenni Price summed the album up best "great female vocals with a heavy womp wom sound". Really the beautiful harmonies, Drum n Bass, and synth define this album.
Aaron Altemose's fancy DNB with infrared controller makes it danceable and fun to watch. Josh Lorenzen masterful synth work gives the music a fun 80s feel. Live Drumming by Josh Burns provides that slight nod heavy rock. The Price sisters amazing soulful vocal harmonies tie everything together. The music surrounds you like a hug, simultaneously makes you wanna dance like nobody is watching.
The album is available at local record stores, www.acousticmindsmusic.com and their reverb nation page: www.reverbnation.com/acousticminds

About
I love all things Portland: bicycling, food carts, diy culture, and THE MUSIC. Every Monday night I get to share my picks of local Portland music on Anti-Apathy at 7pm. While it's great to share the bits from an album, there is something magical about live music. That Live Show on Mondays at 6pm features a live band performance in the studio and then get I get to chat with the band on-air. If listeners have a fraction of the fun I have in the studio during my shows, their listening experience will be epic.

Announcement
Tonight's broadcast with Ezra Holbrook's band performing in-studio will be the last "That Live Show" band performance. KPSU has lots of in-coming students training to be DJs and not as many evening hours open. I was asked if I'd be willing to give up one of the three hours I broadcast and decided to give up the Monday 8-9pm slot. While I'm sad not to have two live band performances every week, I am keeping the Anti-Apathy show, so tune in Mondays at 6pm to get your live band fix.
