What Are You Listening to Right Now? #17

They are a really nice post rock band though. Worth going through their songs
Since you want drums....

More drums.

 

I keep coming back to these guys work. They've really got something going but I suspect like so many electric guitar virtuosos they wouldn’t fit in with a band.

Great - that works because they keep the over the top drums out of the picture until needed.
Fabulous lyrics, although The chromosome theory is far fetched and the view of aboriginal life romanticised way beyond reality.
Still, a great trip.

 

Very nice... But the riff in the second song is stolen from a Danish band. Unless they wrote it before 2003.

Don't know the dates but prior to our century it was regarded as a form of flattery if one composer or musician 'stole' a riff from another. Now they sue each other if they smell the least hint of a copy. A shame really.
And Lordy do I hate that cheesy synthesiser/keyboard sound YUK! They are to my ears one of those post punk bands who just like being naughty but don't really have the musical skills to go any further. If that has me sounding like a musical snob I'm happy to wear it.

 

As a lifelong pirate I have no problem with it I'm just glad I managed to find it so quick. I hate it when I am certain I have heard a riff somewhere but can't find it.

They're skilled musicians but there's a very peculiar effects sound like a quacking duckling or someting that just gets on my nerves and ruins the whole thing.
I also think they should extend their melody line on the quack noise beyond two notes.

Great driving down the highway music and very, very well recorded.
thanks.

This kind of county music is ruined for my by the winging, whining tone of the steel guitar. Sets my nerves on end like someone running their fingernails down a blackbourd.

 

Ugly Kid Joe - Cats In The Cradle
Haven't heard that for decades - thanks.
Great song with the subtle influence of folk music we've lost for some time .

 

Midnight Oil. Beds are Burning.
Essentially about the English invasion of Australia and it's disastrous effects on the original inhabitants.

Well, Gram Parsons never wrote a bad song. Many of the popular rock and roll biggies of the 1960's and early 70's went through the flying burrito brothers.

 

Steven Tylers new "country" offering.

 

Is this the song you mean? Good to see hippie 'chic' isn't dead.
