1. fruit bats
the quick run down.
its two people: Eric and Gillian (like i know them)
but its also an everchanging act to create the rest.
they are from chicago-
...if you know me, you know i love all things chicago related.
here's the long run
i came across these guys while looking on amazon for "sounds like: the shins."
im not really sure what else to compare them too..
a folky group, id say.
hints of the shins, ben folds, a little sufjan.. some wilco, too. definitely wilco...
oooh oooh oooh ben kweller?
his voice has a twangy sound to it, which i love.
and im totally into the banjo.
the song "when you love somebody" seems to be their breakout hit on mouthfuls
the most getcha goin song on the album :)
the song "little acorn" also on mouthfuls has this eerie resemblence of beck meets stone temple pilots..
this ends at :34 in the song.
so yea go listen to these guys if you have an interest in knowing more about a sound that can manage to blend:
the shins, ben folds, sufjan stevens, wilco, ben kweller, beck and stone temple pilots.
gnarly.
2. robots in disguise.
two ladies from the UK blending that funky dance music those brits are known for.
basically if metric moved across the atlantic ocean and met the queen.
no, silly. not that queen.
oh, and they are both into the mighty boosh, which is something we can all appreciate.
im not sure what it is about these gals, but i cant tell if i want to dance like crazy or travel through a haunted house with them as the playlist.
i actually came across robots in disguise on none other then my beloved youtube!
they have a video for their title track the sex has made me stupid
this is definitely something i want playing at my next dance party.
