Camouflage Spaceship

"The State of the Spaceship Address" by Camouflage Spaceship has to be one of the most refreshing records I've reviewed in quite some time. Being a fan of funky music, I am pleased to hear hints of early Chili Peppers, James Brown, and P-Funk. Still the music is very original with catchy beats and lyrics that often get stuck in my head. - B.I.T.S. Magazine

Review of the song "Stank" by Camouflage Spaceship: "Simple and to the point you guys deliver again. Fantastic energy, I almost fell out of my seat while listening to this." - Taxi

Lots of funk, a bit of rap influence, maybe even a bit of R&B influence makes for a fun CD. Mostly upbeat, lots of wawa on the guitar and some interesting synth work makes for some A-file worthy material. I recommend tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, and *16. Ken (the id)

1. *Guitar scrapin’, wawa funk with some cool synth in the mix. Later, some sax.
2. *Bouncy, poppin’ bass. Funky guitar rhythm in the upper register. Like early Red Hot Chili Peppers but slower. Chime playing later, nice touch. Wawa guitar solo.
3. Spacey funk, girl/boy choral harmony, kazoo, makes me think of the coneheads of SNL lore.
4. *This one got my ten year old shakin’ his booty. Interesting tempo change. Cool piano, synths. A Tribute to Sun Ra. - The ID (KZSU D.J.)

It’s not musique concrete or minimalist ambient from Brian Eno’s post-pop period; Camouflage Spaceship, whether it even knows it or not, is a party band. If a party is inspired by the sounds you play, even if you don’t clown around like The Swingin’ Medallions (the original ones), then there can be no question about it. The question worth asking, however, is if it’s a party you’d actually want to attend.

Taking the group theme one step further by blending two together (intergalactic funk and a tongue-in-cheek take on the redneck lifestyle), Camouflage Spaceship would be the funk band at one of the weirder parties you’d ever want to show up at. - Metro Spirit
