With Dislocated Planets think, as the band describes themselves, of futuristic jazz, or a laid back, new age inspired trip-hop sound. Far from the everyday, this San Diego-based group creates a fascinating sound; sometimes it's cool and other times it's just really cool. The music is groovy and ambient, at once asking for you attention, but not really caring if it gets it because it'll just keep on playing anyway. Dislocated Planets prove that the synth sound can be orchestrational, that it can create a full piece of music that's artful and inspiring, and not just be used as back up or post-production effects for acoustic instruments.
