The Motion Sick

Integrating pop melodies with socially voyeuristic lyrics in Kurt Vonnegut style prose, The Motion Sick leaves you thinking beyond usual romance parameters with their second CD release, “The truth will catch you, just wait… ” out on January 1, 2008.

Soft - Higher


Thursday, March 13, 2008

This track actually came out in 2005 but it’s so good and I never wrote about SOFT anywhere so here is my chance. SOFT dropped  their latest album “Gone Faded” in October last year which I have yet to listen to but will attack soon. They’ve also got a sweet video up on their website to watch.

Please Quiet Ourselves

Please Quiet Ourselves

Please Quiet Ourselves creates a textured blanket of sound in a somewhat off-key, clumsy freak-pop manner lifted from Modest Mouse’s Building Nothing Out of Something aesthetic. Seven (and sometimes more) effervescent 15 to 16 year-old high schoolers from Berkeley, CA came together after Jojo Brandel wrote an original song for his 8th grade film project soundtrack. Brandel tapped local Bay Area rockers Eli Lyons, Haran Stern (So Many Clouds) and Adam Becker (O Lucky Man!) to join him. Proud parents carted the teens to Davis, CA to record at the Psychedelic Hearts garage studio with Evan Hart (Buildings Breeding). The jovial company incorporates proggy riffs into punk influenced pop songs and pulls off a group dynamic akin to that of Broken Social Scene. Cleverly placed angst throughout Please Quiet Ourselves yields an ambitious yet catchy jaunt through adolescence.
