Werkadosio: Papadosio & the Werks April 9, 2010

Papadosio

It is rare for Bands to have such control, understanding, and objectivity they create and produce their music. Young, freakishly mature, and wise beyond their years, Papadosio has just released a sophisticated work of art. This skillfully orchestrated jamtronic record refreshes, rearranges and gracefully does what is impossible for most bands. And that's why Papadosio's self titled release is happening in a big way.

The record moves with pushing and pulling arrangements which blend its electronic soundscapes that bloom into guitars and rock and roll and back again. Downtempos and arrpegiations emerge within each other, which wrap and twist into the heights of the record. Layers of depth and space are constant throughout. Front to back and between tracks, every seam is manicured and treated with sonic brilliance. The result is a slick integration of electronic and organic textures that blend and blur with precission and feeling.

The Werks

The Werks is a rock and oll act that uses a unique blend of many musical styles and influences to produce a distinct and powerful sound that audiences crave. The Werks' original songs explore genres such as rock, funk, electronica, soul, bluegrass, jazz, Afro-Cuban, Celtic, R&B and dance.

The Chemistry between band members has been the key in the The Werks' success. Each member has harnessed his own individual groove with influences as eclectic as their music; some common influences include Led Zepplin, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, Phish, Jimi Hendrix, Rush, The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Umphrey's McGee and The Grateful Dead.
