The Sound Breakers

The Sound Breakers were a Lincoln Mayorga and Ed Cobb studio-only endeavor. Released in the summer of 1961 by the small Los Angeles label Radiant Records, the sublime “Marooned” was the sole 45 conceived under the moniker, and seems to be essentially unknown. It is also by far the most interesting of the Cobb-Mayorga instrumental sides. With its psychedelic sheen, Mayorga’s interests in composition probably go some way towards explaining the unusualness and otherworldliness of “Marooned,” which sounds like nothing else on earth.
