Review of “Shades Of Neptune” in Willamette Week

Thanks to Willamette Week for the killer review of our sophomore record “Shades of Neptune"“. Here’s a little sampling:

[SPACE JAZZ] Goddamn, can Paul Creighton sing. And on Intervision's second full-length, Shades of Neptune, he runs up and down his vocal register with the greatest of ease, moving from soulful ballads to staccato lyrical bursts with such finesse it melts your eardrums like butter.

Creighton and company wax chill and sexy, offering funk-laced jazz with a decidedly futuristic bent, making dance-soul fusioneers Jamiroquai an easy comparison. Opening track "10,000 Years" mixes synth and sax while Creighton's voice drifts melodically, exploding suddenly into a fast-paced, highly verbose machine-gun flow. The same thing happens on the second track, "Live Out Loud," creating a robust formula that's prevalent through much of the album. "Sing, dance/ It's an intimate romance formed by cosmic circumstance/ Move, groove/ What have you to lose except the tread beneath your shoes," Creighton croons, drawing out the notes before firing into another trademark burst of fast-paced flow.
