...all of these bands i'm about to tell you about. if you are not so much a fan of the typical robotronic mess that i usually blog about, it's your lucky day! because none of these bands fall into that category. so, here is what we've got going:
very truly yours, a band based in chi-city, is made up of five people. they sound very similar to camera obscura and yo la tengo, if those two groups decided to produce musical offspring together. which would be a baby that i would babysit any day. for free even. listen to the following tracks to get a feel for what they're all about:
aaaand next up we have the limes, which, i have to admit, is a rather underwhelming name for a band. if you're going to be a 'the' band, at least make it whelming. or if you're feeling crazy, make it overwhelming. but aside from the name, the limes are super good. they're an transcontinental band, which i guess mostly implies that they bounce ideas back and forth to each other across the atlantic. whatever they're doing works, though, and here are some songs pour vous:
next is back in judy's shack, probably my new favourite duo. they're lo-fi and lovely and very reminiscent of au revoir simone. ch-ch-check them out here:
burning cold (can't listen on hypem but follow the link to DL free)
and last but not least (for this post anyway), we have total babe, some bb's from minneapolis. i digiheart them times a mil for making happy floaty slighty-but-not-too-twee-ish music. here you go:
