Jukebox Buddha by Dr. Quandary
Jukebox Buddha is an anachronism — a weathered & time-worn record from the not-too-distant future, discovered buried in the long-forgotten ruins of the ancient past.
Exhibiting his signature blend of dusty drums & moody psychedelia, this is the first official, non-compilation album from Dr. Quandary since 2011's "Sigils". It's also the first of his solo projects to feature friends & long-time collaborators, with appearances by Has-Lo, Elder Orange, Louis Mackey (No Humans Allowed), Astrid Engberg, PremRock (Wrecking Crew), Zilla Rocca (Wrecking Crew, Three Dollar Pistol Music), Godforbid (That Handsome Devil, FDR) & TIMESCANNER (The Infinite Now Podcast).
"The perfect encounter between what moves the neck and frees the spirit. The instrumental work of Dr. Quandary is sublimated by a rich panel of voices [and] pens." — Le Gros Tas de Zik
"Dr. Quandary had never attempted an album like this before, but you wouldn’t know it from the way he pulled it off. He clearly had a vision for what he wanted to accomplish with this project, and he ended up delivering one of the most unique releases of the year." — Scratched Vinyl
