NEWS BULLETIN from Mr. Anonymous:
Original drummer for The Samples Jeep Macnichol (a.k.a. Mr. Anonymous) is ready to drop another fresh single called “Vibewise”. This track features a psychedelic mix of live steel drums and distant guitar chime over a slamming reggaton bass drum groove. With soaring autotune melodies to the extreme, Anonymous ventures further into the ethereal stratus, like a T-pain track on mushrooms. Visualize relaxing on the beach or in the jungle with a good smoke sipping a fine rum…This is the vibe of “Vibewise”!
 
“My video director, Pete Coggan from 42 Productions called me a couple months ago saying he was going to Puerto Rico for a few days to hang with some old college buddies” says Anonymous. “Write a tune and lets shoot a video for a couple days!!!”
 
“So thats what we did. The vibe of this song was a freeflow of ideas spur of the moment. I really wanted to make the sound cinematic and trippy, and I especially wanted to play live steel drum. I also wanted to juxtapose a live jazz “Elvin Jones” drum groove against a static danceclub drum machine beat”…the end result: Vibewise!
 
“I was TOTALLY inspired by Puerto Rico…Coffee, Rum, Reggaeton music, thick jungle, beautiful beaches, fresh herbs…. We had a blast shooting the video, and I had a blast making the song”. Enough said and stay tuned for the music video and track when it comes out.

NEWS BULLETIN from Mr. Anonymous:
Original drummer for The Samples Jeep Macnichol (a.k.a. Mr. Anonymous) will be breaking ground in late July with a fresh summer single called “Some Gal A Move”. Blending his own style of dancehall machine gun toasting against ethereal falsetto harmonies, Anonymous steps out as a pseudo crooner delivering hypnotizing melodies over a slamming backbeat and unshakable guitar labrynth. Serving up ever-changing harmonic hors d’ oerves as it sways and flows, “Some Gal A Move” at its core is a testament to raw melodic simplicity over an unstoppable backbeat.
“This is a song that HAD to come out” says Anonymous…”It just flowed out of me like raw emotion. After I laid down the instrumental tracks, I felt a vibe right on the spot. The vocal ideas were all pure improv. The first vocal track I sang laid the foundation for the whole vibe, and I could “Feel” it when it came out. It was a “first take”, and I could feel it like no other vocal I’ve ever laid down. ”
 
“Then I started the overdubs which were all a random freeflow between falsetto ‘Come Away’s, megaphone ‘Gal A Move Gal A Moves’, and robot ‘Bong Gong Diggy Diggy Rocks’. We kept them all “as is” including the spot where I laughed and clapped my hand because I was so psyched on what was coming out. In a weird way I felt like I was channeling something through the mic, releasing a lot of headspace I guess…and man I was psyched!”
The drum track was also kept “as is” because of the intensity and spirit in the first take. “There are a couple drum dropouts that happen purely because I dropped a drumstick. I was laughing when I dropped the stick, and I wanted to keep that “life” in the performance. I like the element of “slop” in a recording, and there’s a great vibe in those mistakes.”  

Enough said and stay tuned for the  music video and track when it comes out in late July!
