Synopsis

Product Description

Finally a Chupacabras is captured, or rather the long overdue album from progressive psychedelic project Phideaux. Released November 11, 2005, this album is third from singer Phideaux Xavier and drummer Rich Hutchins. "Chupacabras" finds them expanding their sound and stretching out with songs longer than 5 minutes. Centered around two "epic" tracks (Chupacabras-20 minutes and Ruffian On The Stairs-10 minutes) this album features beautiful cello, mellotron, flutes, and a whole host of great vocals. Chupacabras tells the story of the life of a chupacabras from the creatures point of view, much like John Gardner's "Grendel" retold the Beowulf saga through the eyes of the monster. Reference points: Renaissance, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Moody Blues

CD Reviews

Phideaux finds their form

Rockhound | 06/26/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the release where Phideaux's sound crystallized. The song, Chupacabras, is their first progressive epic, and the arrangement foreshadows the masterpiece, Doomsday Afternoon. Party is another highlight - it's a great party tune with a real groove. But beware: the party is a bit weird. Just remember, it's not polite to leave until the party's over! If you like Doomsday Afternoon and Seven, this album should be the next stop on your journey."
