I am thinking about going to see the Graveface concert at the end of february and seeing Weekend later this spring. I will keep you updated as to if this happens.
On with the show...
Odd Box Records has put out a few singles in their 100 Club
Series that are absolutely fantastic. I missed out on the ones that I wanted
except for this one. I have gotten the other two releases that this group has
put out, the Seventeen EP and the Family Portrait compilation from Art Is Hard
Records. This is the groups third release on yet another small record label,
Odd Box Records. These two tracks are mind-blowingly fuzzy and warm.
The A side, Sinking, starts off with an interesting sound
before the music kicks in with its wall of sounds style and characteristic
female vocals that are more instrument than understandable lyrics. If you
listen close enough during the chorus you can pick out the title of the song
being sung. The vocals sound breathy and float like cotton candy in the breeze.
It is another amazing song from this dreamy sounding group.
The B side, Over, starts off with the wall of sounds right
off. It is a mellow track that kind of drones on with that same breathy vocal
style. It is so mellow that I could easily fall asleep to the track if it were
played over and over in my head phones while I were trying to fall asleep.
I really like everything that this group has put out so far.
I am just waiting for a full-length album from them.
Best of the best, top 5 out of my best of for 2013:
For the pretty blue splatter records and an
amazing live show.
One of my favorite
bands of all time and seeing their live show for the first time was absolutely
amazing.
For all
the extra music that they put out and a fantastic live show to top it off.
The packaging alone was amazing but the
absolute wall of sound created by this band is brilliant.
The cute little tote and the record and
book combination, the pure twee on the record is so sweet. There is a track from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart on the album that I just had to have.Best of for the year
