MP3 Thursday: Universal Hall Pass
Date: September 13, 2007
Been a while since I’ve written one of these, as I’ve had difficulty finding good, unknown music; I’ve also been busy. But here’s a real gem, Universal Hall Pass. Hailing from Atwater Village, California, Universal Hall Pass is refreshingly original sounding. The band features the vocals of Melissa R. Kaplan, formerly of Boston’s popular electronic pop group Splashdown. I really like Kaplan’s voice. It is the right balance of crystal clear pop and ethereal electronica. You’ll find the tunes sink in, inspire and become a part of you.
Anyone who likes fusion styles in music will like Universal Hall Pass, which manages to sound pop-like, ethereally electronic, and typically with other musical styles, such as jazz, world, or folk. Universal Hall Pass has one diverse sound, and I like it. Listeners of George, Tori Amos and perhaps even Bjork will probably like Universal Hall Pass.
