{"product_id":"maiato-nick-mitchell-naquera","title":"Maiato, Nick Mitchell - Náquera","description":"\u003cp\u003eComing in hazy and heady, an end-of-summer cosmic jammer from Nick Mitchell Maiato, full of big choruses, blazing guitars, country honk, and deep grooves—replete with funky horn section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt’s been four years since Poolside, the last release by One Eleven Heavy (Mitchell Maiato’s sometimes-band with James “Wooden Wand” Toth), and that time has clearly been used for some serious woodshedding on the auteur’s part. On \u003cem\u003eNáquera\u003c\/em\u003e, named after the Spanish pueblo in which he resides,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMitchell Maiato’s songwriting, vocals, and guitar playing all come into sharp focus as he mans the wheel on an ocean drive of interwoven electric guitar dueling, funky multi-movement jams, bittersweet odes to uncomplicatedness, and rolling rockers. Featuring an effortlessly graceful preface by Macon, GA piano prodigy Gavin Rushing, “Riki Rachtman” is a cosmic americana ballad examining the state of heavy metal in contemporary pop culture from the perspective of a disgruntled first-person narrator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Critical Mass” is a soaring, two-chord ode to dropping out, with an opening organ salvo by Grateful Dead midi-tech Bob Bralove, a monster, key-changing guitar duel at its core, and a fat, snaking bass groove by Otto Wilberg (Mitchell Maiato’s former colleague in Desmadrados Soldados De Ventura).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Flamebait” is one of the record’s big surprises with its almost Lennon-esque rock-and soul slab of technocracy bashing, its woozy, three-part horn section, and its improvised, sun-scorched guitar solo slap-dab in the middle. Then, on “The Angle,” we get an homage to rock-and-roll pool hustler narratives framed within an expansive country-funk jam that nods to Mitchell-Maiato’s love of Parliament and Grateful Dead in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kith \u0026 Kin Records","offers":[{"title":"Olive Green And Orange Splatter LP","offer_id":51400921743638,"sku":"RMX-69428","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/nick-mitchell-maiato.png?v=1781083718","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/maiato-nick-mitchell-naquera","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
