Cale Parks is the shit. The shit. He is also the drummer and percussionist of the band Aloha. He also plays piano and vibraphone for the band and has (additionally) performed with Cex, Chin Up Chin Up, Joan of Arc, Love of Everything, Owen, and Pit Er Pat. If you've read this blog over the past few months, you'd probably know that the last Aloha album Some Echoes is a CYSTSFTS fave. I liked that record so much that I recently sought out the latest solo album from Mr. Cale Parks.
His solo album Illuminated Manuscript was released this past summer on the consistently great Polyvinyl Records. It is a calming combination of experimental and atmospheric tones derived from electronic sources as well as drums, keys, and vibes. It is (at times) an almost hypnotizing affair that is a great compliment for Aloha's more upbeat and pop-conscious songs. Have a listen.
