Paully Moonbeam - Free From (2001)

Couple of weeks ago I asked some friends for recommendations as to what to post as I was feeling especially listless. One of them got a CD from his car of a local musician named Paully Moonbeam, which the mention of incited the laughter of others. They promised me that he wouldn't mind that I posted it, and I just listened to it a felt compelled to do just that. Less of a synthesized idea, the album's title gives a hint that Mr. Moonbeam is making an collection of songs that defy genre more than anything. Free From is an absurdist romp that includes charming instrumental ditties, sketch-like spoken word over music, and all sorts of bizarre. The strangeness of this anti-genre album might cause one to over look that it is a genuinely well done album with some rather catchy songs, including a maddeningly good cover of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round."

Couldn't find the album art, oh well.

  2. I am not surprised really. I am in Michigan and I have likely met him as well, but I was more than likely drunk when I did.

  4. I thought the album was Free Form too, but it's actually called Free From. Strange huh?
