MP3: Neon Canyon - Photosynthesis

I felt the softness of a new land, an undiscovered place.  I ran my hand through the cold crushed stone, felt the powder coat my naked skin.  I saw the far moon, and I saw the shadow of the close moon.  I saw three places at once.

Over the last year, the one record that seems to call me back, over and over, is an self-titled EP from NEON CANYON.  Comprised of friends Mark Webber and Jon Sherman, NEON CANYON first made its way into my consciousness through this song.  I was instantly struck by the juxtaposition of the frantic percussion, with the softness of the melodies.  The whole EP is breathtaking in that aspect; sounds and feelings that shouldn’t mix flow interwoven.

The guys have made another EP, and a single, since this release.  Mark has also released a new tape with his equally beautiful project, Memory Screen.
