Joel Jerome Morales has probably finished a new song in the time it took to read this sentence. Music is just in him all the time, and as someone with his own recording studio, he gets to make whatever sounds he hears in his own head whenever he wants. There’s no telling what might happen in the Psychedelic Thriftstore - the name of both Jerome’s recording studio and label - which is why the South Bay native and current NELA resident is a much-loved semi-legend, both for his own work and his work with such artists as LA Witch, La Sera, and Cherry Glazerr. Though he now releases music exclusively as Joel Jerome, he’s also got a 25-year discography of real bands, faux bands, self-released cassettes, instant solo albums, remakes of his own material and tributes to his favorite artists. It’s possible he finished a new album in the time it took to read this paragraph.
But that is not the story of Super Flower Blood Moon.
Jerome’s full-length Dangerbird debut (after a couple of singles for the label’s Microdose series) is still, as ever, “psychedelic thriftstore folk,” (which was also the name of his 2014 solo album). But from the fragile opening track “When You Land” to the swinging “We Made It Home” to the end-of-the-night exhale of “Everybody Come On,” the thrift store also includes soulful big-screen pop, bolero-inspired fingerpicking and tortured romantic crooning.
