Album: None Of This Is Real
Label: Self Release
Release Date: December 2012
Sarosa is a project by Tim James
drafting in musicians to give his composition’s a live band element. The music
for me combines elements of smooth jazz, acid jazz and Balearic chill.
In my opinion there’s a few hidden gems
tucked away on this album. “The Blue Pill” Which I’m guessing was influenced by
Afterlife (or perhaps Chris Coco) has a wonderfully hypnotic synth and the soulful
tones of Sarah Chappell. While the title track is pure beach chill out that
slowly unravels guitar, flute and sax reminding me somewhat of the Project
Club. Frazer Whitelock’s vocals don’t always work for me on the album. However,
they really suit this and “Subway” a more piano house affair which reminded me
of some of Chris Coco’s productions.
Despite the title this album isn’t as
psychedelic as it sounds but we’re not all about the psychedelic anyway and
this album certainly helps to reflect on those summer days in the dark and cold
winter months.
