Lemonade @ Mighty

Global dance music has never found San Francisco's borders closed, but there's a real sense of adventure in Lemonade that goes beyond passport stamps. As much as our late-night chat gets into dance hall, dub, samba, and grime, all of which the group threads into and reinterprets within the fabric of its music, it's the eccentric elements that take the sound to a mystical level — the distortion, the delay, the exotic beats and ethnic bazaar melodies. Lemonade isn't so much a musical sponge as a kaleidoscope, the experimental scene and club culture reflecting, rotating, and tumbling through its lens in a fractured intercontinental spectrum. http://www.myspace.com/bananasandecstasy
