After winning a Juno for best instrumental album of the year with Nostomania, Brace decided to start his own label by the same name to honor music of a similar kind. Nostomania records has already released a 7 inch, entitled Everyday featuring ESL Artists, Ancient Astronauts, and the Brown Bag AllStars. Synesthasia is the second album from Braces Electric Nosehair Orchestra Project. Part of the concept for DJ Braces Juno winning album, Nostomania, was the idea that sound can pull up long neglected memories. Synesthaisa is something like a crossed wire in the brain where one sense connects with another; a color might have a certain smell, or maybe you can taste a sound. Once again visual artists were asked to provide images inspired by the songs on the record, but this time around dont think about the places youve been. Synesthasia opens with something that sounds like a mothership landing at some distant port of call. Thats the first clue that youve arrived in a strange land. Suddenly an unknown voice gives you the instruction to relax, and its time to let the music take control of your senses and guide you on your journey. While there are some familiar elements from the last time around, its no longer what youve heard, seen, tasted or smelled before. So dont be afraid to forge some new connections, and be sure to take a mental snapshot of whatever you might find.
