More new music from
Central Oregon artists
BY BRIAN MCELHINEY • For The Bulletin
L
ast week, GO! Magazine took a listen to new EPs and albums from Central Oregon musicians. This week’s review roundup is dedicated to new singles, plus a
look at some upcoming releases. Without further ado, let’s do this.
“IRRESISTIBLE,” NEAL MARKS
also recorded the song live to tape at
his studio, Parkway Sounds). But the
star remains Chadd’s honest, pow-
erful vocal and the lyrics: a wistful
plea for innocence and home.
Single, Mast Year Records
Multi-instrumentalist Neal Marks re-
turns post-pandemic (and post-Groova-
saur) with the single “Irresistible,” which
showcases his abilities as a producer as well
as songwriter. While Groovasaur jammed
in jazz fusion mode, “Irresistible” is a
full-on rocker with a sensitive heart, riding
spacey verses into cascading, wall-of-guitars
choruses. Marks proves more than capable
in the vocal department as well. A promis-
ing debut, with more on the way.
“NEW INDUSTRY,”
WARM GADGET
Single, self-released
“TAKE ME HOME,” JOEL CHADD
Single, self-released
Joel Chadd, best known for his work
with folk group Trailer 31, previews his de-
but solo album (“Ghost of You,” due out in
summer) with the single, “Take Me Home.”
Conceived as an a cappella number, the
song features Scott Oliphant on pump or-
gan (Oliphant, leader of The Color Study,
Producer/engineer/multi-in-
strumentalist Colten Tyler Williams and
Scary Busey screamer Tim Vester resurrect
Warm Gadget, dormant since the mid-
2010s, for “New Industry.” This blast of
Ministry-esque industrial riffage, buoyed
by Vester’s ever-angry vocal delivery and
scathing lyrics, couldn’t come at a more op-
portune time considering the year everyone
just had. “Bow down to the new industry,”
indeed.

“LET GO,”
MINDPALACE
FEATURING
CAIT FORD
Single, 1988
Entertainment
Johnny Da-
vis, known for his
work as founder
and head hon-
cho of local pro-
duction/promotion company 1988 Enter-
tainment, teams with singer Cait Ford for
“Let Go,” the debut single from the project
MindPalace. The song, composed and pro-
duced by Davis, rides a club-ready beat and
an instrumental that slowly builds in in-
tensity before dipping down again to close,
while Ford adds ethereal singing and soul.
