J Fernandez - Many Levels of Laughter (CD)

On his debut album, Many Levels of Laughter, Fernandez definitely takes the listener on a trip. Track to track, this album changes colors; from the chugging, Deerhunter style swirl of opener ""Between the Channels,"" straight through to the synthesizer weirdness of closer ""Melting Down,"" which descends into a near-perfect coda, Fernandez keeps the listener on her/his toes.
