Woke up a little early so that I could catch back up on some posts and remind yall that I've got dozens of musicians/bands that are achin' to get some attention from the ears of the world. All in due time.
So by now you've probably heard of Gabriel Rios. The song Broad Daylight made it onto my mixes back when it first came out. It's still a great song full of random lyrics at haphazard paces (Schneider anyone?), hand-clapping, stepping-stone piano and choral backups. I was recently reading a short bio on Gab and it turns out that at the tender age of four he put on a superman outfit and tried to fly off of a couch. He subsequently landed on a glass vase, cut his eye, was stitched up at the hospital (twelve stitches) and loved the eyepatch. Anyways... lol.
Morehead, from what I can gather, is a promo album? It's a little hard to say because the only websites offering information are in German and I'm too lazy right now to use the Google translate webpage tool. This promo disc, or super-short release, is full of little gems that we all wish we could have from our favorite artists. Original, acoustic, and alternate versions as well as covers give a more unbiased view of an artist whose tracks trended towards over-production i.e. too many layers.
Since Gabriel isn't on iTunes (except for a single (song) collaboration done with Michael Franti) and I'm guessing you won't find this album without going through a lot of trouble, I'm sharing three tracks. Conveniently the first is where the acoustic flavors shine through, the second (track shared, which is track 3) is a blend between some groove and acoustic, and the third (track 5) is full on dub-steez Gab Reez.
Ear dem good sounz.

In fact it's not German but Dutch, since he lives in Gent, Belgium.
It's indeed a promo-album given to the readers of Knack, a Flamish magazine.
