New sophomore Album from Cabinessence
PORTLAND, OREGON-BASED SPACE-HIPPIE-COUNTRY ACT CABINESSENCE CELEBRATE RELEASE OF “NAKED FRIENDS,” ON SEATTLE-BASED INDIE SPARK & SHINE RECORDS
Portland, Oregon-based Cabinessence are celebrating the release of their sophomore album, “Naked Friends,” their debut for Seattle-based indie Spark & Shine Records. Led by Nathan Maricle and Jacob Arnold (formerly of NW buzz band Marigold), the two are joined by multi-instrumentalist David Pulliam (sometimes seen with fellow Portlanders Celilo), bassist Tim Coulter, and drummer Mike Ronne (ex-Touchforce, Hot for Chocolate).
Borne of the patchouli-soaked rainforest of Oregon¹s Willamette Valley, Cabinessence peppers its space-hippie country with sultry, Bolan-esque glam rock and bizarro flashes of ass-shaking motor-city funk. The ghosts of Brian Wilson and Phil Spector haunt these walls‹or would, if either of them were dead.
“Naked Friends” is the band¹s second long-player. Their debut, “Comes Back to You,” landed them as one of Magnet Magazine’s Bands to Watch, with Magnet writing: “…spun-sugar vocals and shuffling drums… pure Elliott Smith… California canyon rock… and Exile-era Stones by way of Supergrass… Cabinessence is less of a jukebox and more of an Americana mood machine.”
