It’s pretty hard not to like Secret Cities‘ Pink Graffiti. And it’s also pretty hard to put a genre label on it (acoustic-electro-folk-dream-pop?). It is certainly experimental and psychedelic, taking almost every sound imaginable and blending it into one super genre. The album is said to be about Brian Wilson and young people. Or to be more exact, “It’s about Brian Wilson and his work as a prism through which we view youthful things.” Definitely an interesting platform to jump from, and I think they did a tremendous job. You can’t go wrong with Brian Wilson is what this basically boils down to. |

The Soundcarriers have taken the recipe books of David Axelrod and The United States of America and have successfully added hints of modern rock into Harmonium to create a hypnotic, funky, extremely trippy addition to the endangered genre. And Leonore Wheatley’s perfected breathy vocals are the icing on the cake. You can purchase the album in many different formats directly off the band’s website. And I would like to go on record as saying that the song below has one of the greatest intro build-ups of 2009, so be sure and crank it. |
