MAC GOLLEHON & THE HISPANIC MECHANICS: It’s Psychedelic Baby! Magazine Premieres “Sleepwalker” Video; Bite Of The Street LP By Prolific NYC Trumpeter Nears Release On Nefarious Industries

Prolific New York City multi-platinum trumpeter MAC GOLLEHON prepares to release his avant rock/jazz fusion LP Bite Of The Street – by way of his MAC GOLLEHON & THE HISPANIC MECHANICS collective – through Nefarious Industries at the end of the month. Today, exploratory music outlet It’s Psychedelic Baby! Magazine is hosting the premiere of the intense new video for “Sleepwalker.”

The new MAC GOLLEHON & THE HISPANIC MECHANICS LP, Bite Of The Street is an explosive, groove-saturated party album that slams both feet to the gas pedal from its opening notes and never lets up. Fusing heavy soul and jazz with Latin dance grooves, synth-drenched dirges, a multi-percussionist attack, and more energy than a supernova, the six movements showcase GOLLEHON’s searing brass attack, with stacks of layered and intertwined trumpet igniting every moment of the album.

Recorded before the Covid pandemic, Bite Of The Street was fully written and arranged by MAC GOLLEHON, and sees him performing trumpet, keyboards, and scat vocals. He’s joined by Eric Klaastad on bass, Jeanne Carno on drums, and Ismael Sanchez performing additional percussion. Engineer Adan Perez supplies additional keyboards on “Coming At You,” Ariel Lawler supplies background vocals on “Sleepwalker,” and David Brenner (Gridfailure) provides sound effects on “Souled Out.”

Bite Of The Street was recorded and engineered by Adan Perez (Ruben Blades, Marc Anthony, Romeo Santos, Dave Valentin, Tito Nieves, Giovanni Hidalgo) at Allerton Studio in the Bronx, and Dan Grigsby (Joe Cocker, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Sting, Kool & The Gang, Keith Richards) at SAE Institute of Technology in Manhattan, and mixed and mastered by Bruce A. Miller (Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart). The record is completed with photography by Tyler Adams, and layout/design by David Brenner and Greg Meisenberg.

The video for “Sleepwalker” was filmed by Tyler Adams in Staten Island, New York and by Michael Baumann in Pound Ridge, New York, directed by MAC GOLLEHON, David Brenner, and Michael Baumann, and edited by David Brenner.

GOLLEHON writes “Sleepwalker is a chronic, full-time, sleep-deprived soul, who is more than willing to share his fondness for time distortion with all who listen.”
