Tomorrow's Gone

mingusforlife It's kind of hard to pick a favorite track. I picked "smile now, cry later", then Alligator Man came on, and now that's a favorite.

Charlie Megira is the watershed of music tastes I respect. His interpretation of rockabilly represents the high-watermark of end-of-century ennui. Favorite track: Smile Now, Cry Later.

Charlie Moonbeam Been in love with these recordings for a while, had to snag the tahini-colored vinyl.

Shouts Numero.

alberto charlie had such a bright future ahead of him, stood out among all his contemporaries for his whole career. Favorite track: Turn Around.

whyfisucks. Emotional heft and sonic-wizardry; Megira's penchant for soul-piercing songs was second to none. Thankful to know this music. Favorite track: Smile Now, Cry Later.

about

Even in this age of near-total Internet accessibility, Charlie Megira is a modern mystery. A casual search turns up little aside from a few cryptic articles. His brief career unfolded during a changing of the guard in the music industry, opening on the death of the compact disc and ending just prior to Spotify’s IPO. For an artist like Megira, living far away from a major music outpost, there was more chaos than structure for his recordings to exist and find an audience. This collection is the first attempt at putting the pieces together, compiling a life’s work of an artist whose spark almost shined unto the world.

His was a music both familiar and entirely alien at once. It touches on corners of darkness, an isolation both lonely and sweet, all wrapped in a cold glow that draws the listener into each note, each melancholy melody triggering unrecorded experiences. His various projects put out music which began as a junction point between Link Wray’s surf guitar and the theatrical psychobilly of The Cramps, took a turn towards goth-inflected post-punk, and towards the end of his career would sojourn back into his earlier musical fascination with late 1950s and early 1960s rock ‘n’ roll.

The Israeli guitarist recorded seven albums worth of material in 15 years during his all-too-brief 44 trips around the sun.Tomorrow’s Gone collects 24 of these tracks for a double album journey across his career, accompanied by a lavish booklet that documents his tragic existence. Armed with only an Eko guitar, a black tuxedo, and his signature wrap-around shades, Charlie Megira was a mold-breaking artist who disintegrated while we were all staring at our phones.

about

Charlie Megira Israel

The bastard love child of Elvis and Lux Interior, Israeli guitarist Charlie Megira brewed a heady amalgam of ’50s trash rock, surf tremolo, and reverb-drenched goth during his all-too-brief 44 trips around the sun. Armed with only an Eko guitar, a black tuxedo, and his signature wrap-around shades, Charlie Megira was a mold-breaking artist who disintegrated while we were all staring at our phones. ... more

I can get lost in the ambience of the later stages. It feels like I'm floating, letting the noises just occur in my head. I genuinely listen to K1 on a regular basis. Absolutely recommend. seeeetfanacc
