MH-241 Nobody & Mystic Chords Of Memory - Tree Colored See Tree Colored See is a collaborative effort between Nobody (Elvin Estella) and Mystic Chords Of Memory (Chris Gunst and Jen Cohen). Building off of successful guest appearances on each other's past releases, the trio began collaborating on the project in the spring of 2004. After a year-plus of road trips and mail-order production efforts, the result is a perfectly crafted blend of psychedelic hip-hop and sunshine folk-rock. Nobody proves himself a producer/arranger in the classical sense, using his sample-based tool set to create the foundations for the album. Chris Gunst continues to mature as a songwriter and along with partner Jen Cohen, adds wistful vocals and accomplished musicianship to each song. For those who have followed any of these artists throughout the courses of their respective careers, this album proves to bring out the best in each of the participants.

The first collaboration between the avant-garde electronicy-hop producer Nobody and Aisler Set / Beechwood Sparks side project Mystic Chords Of Memory is an upbeat and groovy set of tunes with good vibes to spare... Folky melodies weave through layered beatscapes to create an atmosphere of summertime and sunshine-flecked afternoons. - Etherea
