Organic!

Organic!  A Funky,
Psychedelic Organ Trio.

There’s nothing quite like the energy generated by a live band improvising together. You’re swept up in a rising tide of synergy as the musicians play off each other, creating new grooves, melodies and innovative sounds. The infectious wave pulls you into the musical moment making you a crucial part of the creative process.

Organic!, the Brooklyn-based trio, features guitar, Hammond organ, vintage keyboards, synth-bass and drums. They instinctively create new music every time they play- that’s the premise of the band!

Imagine capturing this live musical energy on a CD with the sound quality of a 70’s studio record. Envision crossing the lush arrangements of Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life with the power of a live Herbie Hancock performance. What if New Orleans groove-masters The Meters made a psychedelic rock record like The Beatles’ Revolver? Or if James Brown’s band worked with producer Daniel Lanois to craft an ambient soundscape like U2’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind?

Now you don’t have to imagine…

Sweets, the new CD by Organic! features funky live jams played on vintage instruments and effects, produced and recorded in a modern recording studio. The strong melodic and rhythmic interaction of guitar, organ and keyboards will make your hips shake while your head spins!

Every track on Sweets builds on the foundation of a solid drum groove. Fat synth-bass locks in with crunchy rhythm guitar; evocative echoplex-guitar textures emerge while Hammond organ, Wurlitzer electric piano and wah-wah guitar weave melodies. Each song focuses on a handful of musical elements that organically blossom into funky fruition.

Listening to Sweets conjures up the feeling of a live show. The creative process explodes around you as the songs organically come to life!  The music draws you in with groove, surrounds you with melody and bathes you in sonic splendor.

In short- if you like acid jazz, jam bands, funk or psychedelic rock, you must add this CD to your collection.

Interested? Listen to Sweets and our debut CD The Undoing.

New CD: Sweets

Sweets CD Cover

Check out what Michael Gallant from Keyboard Magazine had to say about Sweets!


"If you’re a fan of improvisational, psychedelic tastiness, check out Sweets.  Brooklyn’s Bennett Paster creates mellow organ work, and also shades his tracks with clavinet, Wurlitzer, piano and Nord Lead 2 using a dissonant touch that would make John Medeski proud.  Highlights include “Larry the G,” a tune in which the Nord makes for a particularly cool under-water sounding interlude and the title track, which travels from shimmering organ underneath a soaring, Pink Floyd-esque guitar to hard, wah’d out Wurly.  Plenty comfortable with disparate harmonic colors and expressive keyboard textures, Bennett always seems to know just when to change things up, organically (heh) shifting the groove from chill to intense, introspective to full-on-rock." (February 2007)
