bands i like.

i’m really into the mae shi right now. they’re good for getting excited and maybe making food or painting your room or something. or just dancing.
and i even like the instrumental track that falls into the middle of their new album that’s 11 minutes long. it’s hard to imagine any record label agreeing to that.
here’s a video of theirs.
other quick reviews.
css: donkey - not as good as some of their other stuff. but worth a listen. it seems a little bit rushed - like they were waiting to get it done and just recorded it.
she & him: volume one - why haven’t i heard of this band earlier? as much as i like 60s girl bands, you’d think i’d have been all over this one (although it’s more 50s). finally girls my age who love to wear vintage dresses start playing vintage music.
lemuria: gets better - reminds me of something i would have listened to about 10 years ago and for that reason, i keep spinning it. overall, i have to be in the mood for it.
lykke li: little bit ep - good things come in small four-song packages. although i feel like there is something i’m not quite getting here.
Hmm that band and video are both amazing, I wanna see em live now!
The CSS album probably was rushed
their second label album probably was made on a deadline — someone should do a study of sophomore slumps and how they correlate with the kind of recording contract signed (yes, I’m that geeky…)
Mae Shi isnt’ doing it for me, not that song at least. Need to check out the rest of this stuff. Thanks for posting this.
