China

Michael James Tapscott is one half of internationally acclaimed fringe folk darlings, Odawas, and the lead singer-songwriter of the Bay Area country-folk group, China the Band, but also an entire universe unto himself. Taking psychotropic paths through forgotten exotic literature, extrapolating mysticism from the shag-toothed street peddlers, his is a world of wonder that seethes just below the surface of yer perspective skull jellies. Stitched together from an electric eclectic sonic palette where synthesizers sigh next to the jingle-jangle buzz of 12 steel strings and the pitter-patter purr of cybernetic drum circles.
