| Zen Boogie: A Tribute to A Tribal Smile |
![]() | ![]() |
Zen Boogie: A Tribute to A Tribal Smile, Volumes I and II showcase ATS’ classic sonic journeys refracted through the hearts and minds of today’s most important (and occasionally unhinged) musical artists. Familiar melodies are bent, stretched, reimagined, and lovingly disassembled before being rebuilt in glorious new forms. From cosmic funk to smoky jazz, jangly indie to revivalist exuberance, these reinterpretations travel boldly across genre and galaxy while honoring the peculiar "space basement spirit" at the nucleus of A Tribal Smile. Hear new interpretations of signature ATS songs from Jawbone and the Mandibles, Gluteus Maximus, Sarah Bellum, Ibid, Fuzzy Ruckus, The Crimson Cortex, and so many more! Each artist brings their own strange weather system to the material — some tender, some thunderous, some delightfully absurd. The result is a kaleidoscopic celebration of melody, mischief, and musical curiosity that proves a great song can survive alien abduction, ragtime transformation, or a late-night lounge reinterpretation and still come home smiling. |

| A Tribal Smile: Legendary Space Basement Band |
|
What is A Tribal Smile? They've been officially certified as THE legendary space basement band. ATS is an ever-morphing ensemble of musicians from around the world who collaborate in-person and/or on-line to create unique musically sonic experiences. Their mothership is in geostationary orbit above metro Detroit, Michigan; they do visit us from time to time. What kinds of music is this? A delightful variety of styles from electronic, avant-garde, dance, and chill to alternative, rock, psychedelic, and space basement. You’ll hear all of A Tribal Smile’s recent color vinyl LP releases, plus individual songs and cosmic emissions too. Something for everyone! Listen to an exquisite stream of consciousness wherever you go. Download the iOS app and/or enable the Alexa skill and enjoy electronic, psychedelic, alternative, trip-tastic space basement, college radio, and other styles of music -- all hosted by eccentric DJs from around the world. Who are the radio station hosts? Like a college radio station, this 24x7 streaming broadcast is hosted by a charmingly strange assortment of DJs who add unique styles to the experience, including Jonny Socko, Danny Mothra, Oliver Middlebrook, Spanky Bottoms, Eddie Gold Obvious, Gary Hurglewitz, and more! What does it cost? While there’s no cost to use these free services, let’s consider the cost of not streaming A Tribal Smile daily. Just think, you could be grooving to toe-tapping tunes, drifting away with chill psychedelia, and discovering your new most favorite song. What’s to lose? Where can I learn more? The fine folks at A Tribal Smile routinely update this website, tribalsmile.com. In addition, they rarely but not never use social media stuff, facebook.com/tribalsmile and instagram.com/atribalsmile. They also use carrier pigeons and smoke signals, too. How much of the above is real? Well, we think that most of what’s truthful is real. They really are THE legendary space basement band. But the bit about the carrier pigeons and smoke signals was mostly added as a laugh and, to the best of our knowledge, they’re not actually in geostationary orbit above the planet. At least we don’t think so for sure. What else is there to say? We say, please press play up above and/or buy the records and/or pick your favorite streaming service and/or download the app and/or enable the skill and listen for yourself. If a particular tune doesn’t suit your fancy, maybe get a glass of water or whatnot and by the time you come back, something very different will most likely be playing. Come join the adventure! A Tribal Smile is published through ASCAP. Pretty cool. |
