This is how I feel this week. Not chosen for lyrical content, just chosen for the music.
I love eMusic. Tonight, I downloaded three albums based purely on recommendations:
- Hideaway by The Weepies
- Crystal Castles by Crystal Castles
- The Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbits
I had not heard of any of them, but the reason I signed up to eMusic was to find new music, not buy stuff I already like.
I am listening to The Weepies album now, and it is very, very nice. They are a boy-girl duo, with vocals shared between the two. The boy reminds me of Matthew Sweet and Elliott Smith. The girl reminds me of... well, most girl singers who were clearly raised on Joni Mitchell, but her voice is very nice to listen to. Also, some of the songs she sings on are Fleetwood Mac-y.
I am going to post one of the girl-sung Fleetwood Mac-y numbers as it is my favourite song on the album:
It is not entirely indicative of the rest of the album.
