Listen to Hospitality

So, as I promised from my high little stooper from last night, I don't think that's how you spell stooper by the way, I am continuing with the great music machine known as Tastes Bad. I got all excited last night cause I was telling myself I would get on the Tumblr and the Twitter, oh the cacophony of sound there would be from this place. But seeing as how there is only me and my lonesome now, I can do nothing but write articles for new wonderful things I find, and hope somebody will join along in a while.

Yes it is true my readers, I am utterly alone. Gone is the rocking old man, Sammy the Sham Man, and gone is the rockabilly loving heehaw that was Roadkill, and gone are some other people that I promised you a while back but then they never did anything, so why bother with them right? I should probably change the roster up and what not.

Well, anyway, enough of the baying like wolves, lets talk about music.

Today I learned about a band, and boy are they pretty swell. Isn't it grand when you come back to music and your favorite archaic dead piece of genre is actually producing new artists? Yay for Indied pop!

No, no, no, no need to run away just yet. Give them a chance.



 Aren't they dreamy? Apparently they are one of those bands that are going to be at SXSW, if I went, I would watch them. Wouldn't you?

I'm a big sucker for pop, especially the alternative kind, but many of you don't, because you don't have the ears of an 80 year old. But that's okay as well. As you further delve into the album you get more ... um... other stuff. You can't really call it rock, but it's not completely the pop that we're all so familiar calling. I would say it is about as soft as Camera Oscura but with the odd rock-ities of Land of Talk or Delgados. Let's just say the singles on Youtube don't do enough justice to the breadth of their style.




Overall I don't find anything incredibly special about them as much as I love finding more things that fit into my love niche of quirky pop stuff that will never grow old. It's not a fast kind of love like rock and roll where the excitement is clearly there, but more like a casual relationship one might have with a piece of scenery on a bike ride... If you're a fine wine connoisseur... or something.



If you liked The Delgados or what the Cardigans used to do early on in their career, or you grew up in the early 90's listening to a lot of Belle and Sebastian and Elephant Six, this might be oddly reminiscent.

And here's the link to them on Spotify so that you can enjoy the album there too.

And thanks to KCRW for the news on this great new band.
