Under Soil and Dirt - The Story So Far (2011) Trying to decide if I love this or hate this. The songs have been stuck in my head constantly but the elitist in me can't help but feel kind of embarrassed listening to it in my car with the windows down (broken AC represent). It reminds me of Fall Out Boy or something with much better vocals, lyrics, and without the pretty boy image to cater to 13 year old girls. Lots of reputable sources have been hyping the **** out of it so maybe it'll grow on me, but right now I see it staying in the realm of catchy but forgettable pop punk to me. But the band is very young, only a couple years older than me, so they have a lot of growing up to do. Will keep an eye on in the future. |

Disco Inferno - D.I. Go Pop (1994) This band popped up in my last.fm recommendations and I just felt so curious to check them out. This is some seriously trippy stuff, listening to this it feels like you're tripping balls. They have a very experimental/early post-rock kind of sound with very English post-punk sounding vocals and they also manage to blend everyday sounds such as running water, camera sounds and thunder into their sound. One of their members went on to join Bark Psychosis. Fascinating stuff. Wye Oak - Civilian (2011) I was digging the song 'Holy Holy' so I had to check out this album. So far it's a pretty solid indie rock album with echoes of Beach House, Mazzy Star and Holly Miranda. This one could be a grower. The Blue Nile - A Walk Across The Rooftops (1983) Their 1989 album Hats is a remarkable album and this album is meant to be just as good if not better. Going to save this one for late tonight so I can get the full effect of it, makes more sense than listen to it at quarter to two in the afternoon.

Zer0, thanks for reminding me about D.I. Go Pop. I've been meaning to get that album for quite some time.
I'm hoping that these will be a good introduction to Swan's discography. Last edited by Chrysalis; 08-13-2011 at 12:48 PM. |
