Inside The Rockers Studio: Cale Parks

On his solo effort, Illuminated Manuscript, Aloha-drummer Cale Parks takes the experimental blueprint for his band's work and morphs it into a collection of ambient (yet structured) songs, featuring nothing but keyboards, electronic drum sounds, and mallet instruments. Cale's live percussion and fragile vocals add warmth to the otherwise-electro grooves, and the record is a perfect loop for drifting in an out of focus on hazy, lazy days (we speak from experience).
