plus instruments - big man

kick ass minimal synth punk. also treated some female vocals on this one. good mix of sounds and rhythm here, its hard to sum up the album with one genre.

the garbage and the flowers - eyes rind as if beggars

amazing lofi garage rock with a sort of psychedelic/experimental twist. if you are into fuzzy and warbled sounds give it a listen. the band name seems to have been derived from a leonard cohen song lyric in suzanne. a lot of the songs on this album are quite long but remain solid. mainly the sounds on this blew me away, coupled with some great lyrics.

au pairs - sense and sensuality

for whatever reasons, i didnt check out this group for a long time. possibly a case of seeing the band name and thinking its another group. know what i mean? anyway, i really enjoy gang of four. particularly the varied arrangement of everything, inventive patterns, timing etc. au pairs really captures all of that same beauty and does it with the perfect female voice. politically charged lyrics will have you listening over and over.

drinking electricity - overload

primarily female vocals , backed by minimal drum / synthesizers / guitar. favorite track on this was EASILY "good times" . love how she sings on that track and its a great pick me up track. really puts you in a good mood. the rest of the album has some jams and generally every track at least utilizes interesting synthesized sounds.
