    [MUSIC REVIEW] John Vanderslice

    Please Visit Loudfarm.com, Your Bay Area Music Liason

    Songwriter, photographer, world-traveler, studio owner, and musician are only a few faces of solo artist John Vanderslice who has forged a mini-empire in the mission district of San Francisco. Upon the break-up of MK Ultra in 1999, Vanderslice ventured out on his own to create an independent identity, and he wasted no time before releasing his first nationally recognized single Bill Gates Must Die in 2000. A wide influence base which references artists from Neutral Milk Hotel to Public Enemy contributes to his indiosyncratic sound and uniquely artistic vision. He is notorious for citing poetry, politics and film in his prolific narrative lyrics. Vanderslice's sound is an intermingling of indie words with meloncholy electronic notes, interspersed with cosmic moldies and 80's synth beats. It relishes in misery and woe yet invites the oppurtunity for discovery of uplifting inspiration. It's the type of music that makes you feel like its really listening.
