Music Relay
Here's a fun new song I've been enjoying:
Tapes 'n Tapes - Hang Them All
T'nT is a young band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their sound fluctuates from country tinged pop to instrumental techno tainted rock. If I had to give a crude comparison of styles I would say that most of the time they sound like a Northern industrialized version of My Morning Jacket, but don't do the down tempo anywhere near as often. There is also plenty of instances where they veer from this comparison, therefore you can consider the past 3 sentences worthless (including this one). They haven't really broken through the top of the indie music scene, but have bumped up right against it. Their last album featured the semi-popular "Cowbell," which is actually how I found out about them. That song doesn't reveal their twangy roots, (or their large vocab) but I'm not one to say a band needs to stick with one style. You can listen to, and even download with their blessing, a few of their other songs here.
These dudes have a new album dropping some time later this year, probably late spring/early summer. They will be performing at the SXSW festival next month so there could be a chance that some record exec will try to pick them up and eventually force them down our collective throats (i.e. ear canal).
More later, off to work for now.
