Aqueduct (dancing, electronic, hardcore, album, cover)

hookers with machineguns · 06-24-2005, 03:34 PM

A pretty decent band I came across not too long ago. They play an electro-pop style; i presume fans of bands like Postal Service, Figurine, Magnetic Fields, or The Pulsars (all of whom are very good btw) will like these guys. However, Aqueduct uses more instruments than those bands. Homepage below with mp3s:

I'll be frank, the songs on the website aren't so hot, but they're good to get a feel for what kind of band this is. If you get a chance, try checking out the following songs as well

The Closest I'll Ever Come To Naturally Dancing
As Close As Your Girlfriend Is Far Away
Hardcore days & Softcore Nights

i bought "i sold gold" based on the song hardcore days & softcore nights and the main thing about the album to me is the energy generated from the use of electronics. is such a busy, cool album with a lot of really catchy hooks and choruses- especially heart design, tension and tulsa trap. good band.

hmmm...hate to admit it , but this is probably the first real discovery via this site for me.....this is exactly what i'm into right now, great beat/drums and catchy....a lot of people are comparing them to the postal servise, how DO they compare?

wow, after downloading hardcore days softcore night i immediately started to download the entire album ( i can tell if it's going to be great just by one song )and i'm blown away.....another perfect 10 in my collection, fantastic, again by far the best find through this site....

They have the similar catchy electro-pop style that Postal Service perfected. There's a lot of good bands that play this kind of music lately. I love it.

adidasss · 06-26-2005, 04:54 PM

do you? but it falls in the same group as the killers and the bravery , doesn't it, good beats with a dash of electronics/synth? and if you do have other similar bands, please share!

Sneer · 06-27-2005, 02:23 PM
