Like some kind of time-hopping wizard with preternatural melodic sensibilities, M Ross Perkins is back with his sophomore full-length, E Pluribus M Ross. The album, his first for Colemine/Karma Chief Records, is another masterclass in home recording with 12 shimmering slices of purely perfect psychedelic pop. Perkins fittingly had music journalists in a tizzy when he released his critically acclaimed self-titled full-length on Sofaburn Records in 2016. Record Collector called it "a truly great album filled with late '60s and early '70s pop goodness," while High Times praised it as "the kind of good old-fashioned psychedelic-tinged rock & roll that the world could use right now." Shindig upped the praise, calling Perkins' music "the perfect percolated distillation of Nilsson and Emitt Rhodes, one minute SoCal harmony pop inspired by the Fabs' trippy era, the next Merseybeat, and often silly, but biographical, like Harry at his best." The critics are right to praise the Ohio-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who conjures up his distinctively imaginative recordings all alone in his home studio. However, one would be missing the point to simply portray Perkins as a man lost in the past. The music of this unique artist is undeniably steeped in the indelible melodic hooks and laidback rhythms of the psychedelic '60s, but he's no copycat. In describing Perkins, it's not wrong to namecheck Rhodes and Nilsson, but you have to expand that list of influences to include pop-rock visionaries like Brian Wilson, Colin Blunstone, and even John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Let's also throw in the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Kinks as well. Perkins clearly learned plenty of helpful tips from these and other legends that made the late 1960s and early 1970s such a magical musical time, but he has charted his own singular path from the past and back again. The warbly filmstrip soundtrack that opens E Pluribus M Ross let's listeners know immediately this isn't going to be another bland modern rock album. And Perkins confirms this time and time again with each lush arrangement, with each delightfully unexpected left turn. He tastefully mines the sonically rich period from 1968 to 1972, whether it's Mersey-inspired harmonies, haunting mellotron, Gram Parsons style country-rock embellishments, or McCartney-esque bass runs. And yet, this is no simple pastiche. A fresh, forward-thinking spirit links the old with the new, making E Pluribus M Ross the kind of album that possesses a broad multi-generational appeal. The hooks, arrangements, and overall sense of songcraft are as sophisticated as the work of Wilson and Nilsson, which is remarkable when you consider Perkins not only produced all of the musical arrangements but also played all of the instruments and sang all of the vocal parts on the album. Even more impressive, Perkins is able to evoke all of these iconic figures in his songs without resorting to psych-rock cliches or outright thievery. It's an extraordinary balancing act, and what emerges is a shimmering tapestry of skillfully-woven musical threads, each harkening back to the past while simultaneously pointing toward the future. While Perkins had previously recorded demos of a number of the songs from E Pluribus M Ross, this recorded version of the album didn't exist before the pandemic hit in March of 2020. Like many musicians, he admits he was struggling to be creative at the time: "I was just waiting to see how bad the catastrophe was going to be," Perkins said. "Like everybody, I started to get pretty depressed. It was like, 'Man, the world is ending.' We didn't know how the election was going to turn out; the entire system was just ripping at the seams. Musically, I just couldn't imagine going downstairs and trying to be like, 'Oooh, baby, baby.' Trying to write a love song or something just seemed like the most ridiculous thing a person could do in that moment." Perkins found inspiration when Terry Cole, founder of Colemine Records, signed him to his Karma Chief imprint in the early days of the global pandemic. "After Terry hit me up, I went downstairs and just immediately got to work," Perkins said. "It was a shot in the arm. I went down and recorded an LP from start to finish. I pulled out a lot of unreleased songs, tried to rethink how to arrange and play them, and turned them into a new album." "Wrong Wrong Wrong," the lead single from E Pluribus M Ross, opens with a descending guitar riff that would make the Byrds blush. However, it quickly transforms into a bouncy number, in stark contrast to the seriousness of the lyrics, which touch on "fake news" and malicious disinformation. That dichotomy is something of a hallmark of Perkins' work and reappears on tracks like "Industrial Good Day Mantra," "Tired of Me," and "The Butterscotch Revue." Without eschewing any deliciously gooey hooks, Perkins leans a bit into the harder side of psychedelia with "Venti Gasp Inhale" and "Funeral For a Satellite," a fitting, fuzz-guitar-drenched album closer. So, take our advice and join Perkins on his magical mystery trip through time, E Pluribus M Ross, coming March 18th on Colemine/Karma Chief Records.

45 minutes assembly -- piece of cake. Nice chair.
Color: Black, Style: With Headrest, Color: Black, Style: With Headrest
Before I finally landed on this chair I read about a million articles with buying advice for ergonomic desk chairs, looked for second hand expensive chairs, read so many Amazon reviews. Obviously you can spend a whole lot of money on an ergonomic desk chair (even used ones), but I really didn't want to. I just bought this today, so the jury is out on long term wear, ,but I can say that the components feel solid, assembly was easy, it is *very* comfortable so far, and -- even more to the point -- VERY adjustable in so many different ways that physical therapists etc recommended in the articles I read. I am 5 foot 5; in order to put the chair at the right ergonomic height for my particular desk and keyboard, I need a footrest so my feet aren't dangling. But that would be the case with any chair in my setup. The headrest is great, the arms are soft and comfortable, the back support piece is perfect, and everything can be adjusted as you sit in it. Rollers are quiet and stable on laminate floor. The box was a good size and heavy enough (~32 lbs) to be awkward for an unfit middle aged lady to wrangle down apartment steps; however, the Amazon driver brought it straight to my door. The chair was carefully packed. Whoever wrote the assembly instructions (which are in English and Spanish) for this chair is some kind of technical writing genius -- I have never seen clearer or more easy-to-follow instructions. From slicing open the tape on the box to finished chair was 45 minutes for me. All you need for assembly is included -- also fabric gloves (for protecting your manicure? I guess?) and extra bolts and washers. Super buy. If I'd known I could get such an affordable and massive upgrade from my previous garbage chair I would have done it long ago. Great value for the money. I rarely write reviews but all the reviews I read helped me make a great decision, so here ya go.

Comfort and ease
Color: Black, Style: With Headrest
Good chair all the functions work well I don’t really care for the armrest rotating but the fact they lift up an extend is nice. It’s comfortable. The lumbar is good. I don’t spend hours in a chair. It’s nothing fancy but definitely good for the price. Simple to put together seems durable enough.

Good chair but....
Color: White, Style: With Headrest
I am 20 years old and a college student, I have horrible posture, and I game a lot, so my chair is VERY important to me. This chair was decently okay to assemble, and the initial sitting experience is good. You can feel yourself sink into the seat but not too much which is really nice. The arm rests are tiltable which is AMAZING because I always have a weird stance when I sit so this is perfect for me. However, there is one thing about this chair that is CRITICAL to know before buying. Perhaps this is my own fault, but the back isn't adjustable. What I mean by that is that you can't lean the back of the chair forward, kind of like how you can in a car seat. There is a pillow that you can push further into the back rest with a nob on the back but that barely helps. The headrest is also abysmal because I have to lean so far back into the chair just for my head to hit the head rest. I want a headrest that is always against my head. Not something that I have to tilt my head back into just for my head to hit it. That makes the chair extremely uncomfortable if I am trying to use the headrest. The chair also feels wobbly, I have had previous chairs where over time the gas lift wears out over time and when I sit on the chair the chair falls to the ground because the gas lift doesn't work anymore. However, that takes years of wear and tear. Sitting in this chair makes me feel like it is going to happen way sooner.  Also, the picture makes it look way whiter than it is in real life. It is kind of like a white that is getting to a pee color and it is kind of gross looking a little bit but it isn't that bad since it isn't fully that color. Another thing is that crumbs actually get stuck in the tiny holes in the seat cushion so you can't swipe it off your chair they are literally inside of it. I will leave a better review once I had used it for a while. If you are just looking for a nice chair and don't really care to much about the specifics it isn't a bad choice.
