Listening to: Low

Recently Acquired Shit:

CD:

1) Trouble Books Limited and containing four songs, the sleeve containing the CD is sewn self-stamped and glued with the words of the band. This now defunct band sounds somewhat like Sufjan Stevens and Joan of Arc in some parts. The male and female vocals remind me of Ida as well. The music is dreamy and layered. There a bunch of book nerds that are scared of stepping on grass. At least thats the impression I get while listening.

2) Wolf & Cub - "Vessels" A pleuthoria of sounds, from fuzzy Fu Mancho to 70's arena, skater rock. Not punk in the least, more proggy. Does this make sense? Long instrumentations. Some of its doable, others.....nah. Standout tracks are "This Mess," and "March of Clouds."
