All music written, performed, synthesized, recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Korb.
Influences
Suburbia, insomnia, alcoholism, dreaming, accidents, disasters, friendship, betrayal, science, religion, magic, sex, apathy, everyone and everything, one way or another ... Major musical influences: Ben Folds, Devendra Banhart, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Jethro Tull, John Frusciante, Led Zeppelin, Live, Muse, Nick Drake, Nirvana, Phantom Planet, Radiohead, etc. ... Also tons and tons music that I can't stand, which taught me what not to do.
Sounds Like
Perhaps emotional without the emo, or rock without the electric guitars, or pop without insulting your intelligence ... at least that's the intent.
'People often have a hard time finding a genre to lump Michael Korb's music in with, and when asked who he sounds like, you're bound to get a different answer from everyone. On one hand his dark lyrics surround mental, emotional and situational struggles; on the other hand his melodies are addictive and fun to sing. Complex rhythms and odd phrasing are cleverly disguised in easily accessible song structures. And from his shy, reserved demeanor, you wouldn't expect a performance bursting with such intense honesty and emotion. There's just something about his music that attracts audiences young and old, but ask anyone what it is exactly, and you're bound to only get a small piece of the story.'
"Emotion-packed lyrics and inventive chord arrangements" [Dave Dircks, -Acoustic Long Island]
"He projects his voice into all corners of the room and boasts a presence that certainly needs to be heard to be realized." [Greg Robson, -Resident Media Pundit]
