Toulouse Engelhardt – Music From The Martian Gras (CD)

Toulouse Engelhardt has quietly built a reputation as one of the more imaginative voices working at the intersection of cosmic rock and New Orleans-inflected groove, and *Music From The Martian Gras* leans fully into that carnival-meets-cosmos sensibility. The title alone signals where this is headed: somewhere between the second line and the stratosphere, with plenty of room for the unexpected in between.
