LA Psychedelic Rock //  Dark Space

psychicdrivinglosangeles@gmail.com

Joel Chadd writes and plays songs that are brutally honest and open hearted. His themes are universal, but the songs feel as if they were written just for you. His melodies dance between soulful vocals and passionate guitar playing, drawing the listener ever-so-close.

Born into a music-filled household in Corvallis, Oregon, he has been creating & playing music as a singer songwriter for the last decade. Joel’s songwriting is a pursuit to understand & process the innermost feelings of joy & sorrow. It is an opportunity to bridge gaps, to bring others together and to connect with his own community & the world around him. His commitment to songwriting & music is ultimately a commitment to himself to slow down, pay attention to what matters in his life and to weave those lessons into songs that allow both him & the listener to heal & grow. These are songs that explore the full range of human emotions we all navigate.

Sonically, The Color Study might fall somewhere between the intersection of Spiritualized, Spoon, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd and Wilco, where the sounds are heavily textured and expansive. This coming from band leader, Scott Oliphant’s influence from decades spent in the Austin music scene; as both sound engineer & musician. The now 6 piece, Bend, OR band (Sean Garvin- drums, Stephen Reinhardt- guitar, Matt Jackson- bass, Melissa Atillo- keys/vocals, Miguel Mendoza- trumpet) rounds out a vibrant, soundscape listening experience for indie/psych rock lovers.
