   About Joe Turner & the Seven Levels
Joe Turner has always sung and played a variety of instruments, so when his previous outfit Abunai! called it quits after five years, he got off their drum stool and back to work on some new sounds of his own. After the 'small' distraction of organizing the universally loved Terrastock 5 festival was over, he began to make a year and half of unemployment worthwhile by focusing on his new solo sounds. "Between Two Seconds" runs a wire-length between meditative gauze-rock and full-on rocking psychedelia. He's got plenty of inspired experience to draw on, having performed with The Lilys, Barbara Manning, Damo Suzuki (Can), Brother JT, and Nick Saloman (Bevis Frond), as well as several times with the Boston Rock Opera. Joe's song contributions to Abunai! had left a clue as to the layered, melodious urges that he'd been harboring, and now those urges are ripe for the rock harvest.

Whether it's the huge harmonies that fill up "Coordinate Zero" (an audio picture-postcard from Amsterdam), the rock-solid drums and sharp guitar leads in "Perfect the First Time", a watery piano leading the way in "When the Day Crowd Leaves", or the muscular bass of "Stella Luna" (written only after seeing, but not actually reading, the children's book of the same name) Joe uses his unerring melodic sensibility to plunk stoned cyclical mantras onto the same skewer as twitchy psych-pop, delivering a delicious rock shishkebab to your plate.

"Turn Me Upside-Down" appears on the compilation CD The Further Adventures of the Telepathic Explorers from Free City Media (http://www.freecitymedia.com).

Listen for "When the Day Crowd Leaves" in the independent film "The Offering".

Hello Joe
I'm such a twit I've only just worked out how to post a comment. Any how, my comment is that I really like your music...but where've the other songs gone? I can only get When Will You Wake Up, which is jolly nice, but it's the only one I can access.
Cheerio for now,
Alice

Hi...
We're writing this message to you only to tell you that A) We have two new tracks up and B) We're now selling a full LP (it's pretty cheap which is nice). We just wanted to tell you what's new with us (if you even cared to know that is) but if you're actually intrigued or just laughing and rolling your eyes at us... either way, have a most lovely day

Love,
Yes Means No

Hi guys. Well you are half right. :-) I did find you because of the Higher and Higher CD set, but thus far I have not purchased the set and have only heard two songs from it. I haven't heard your version of 'Tuesday Afternoon' yet but am looking forward to it.
Thank you for accepting my invite to be a friend on myspace. :-)
