I need a new band to get into

no votes
? by dove_from_above

Lately my attention has been almost entirely consumed by boonce boonce electro stuff

Can somebody recommend me a band that I would've heard of, but never actually checked out their stuff. A band with a couple of albums, perhaps

Stuff such as Wolf Parade, Decemberists, Broken Social Scene etc is the kinda thing I'm after

Cinematic Orchestra? What are they like? I always see their name mentioned but don't know anything about them

MY MORNING JACKET

seriously, I think you'd like. I'll happily send you some stuff, and as a plus amazon market place has most of their albums for about 3 quid.

Of which

you should get Z because it's awesome.

like Jambo said...reminiscent of TOTB- era Interpol..all raw and fuzzy basslines and skittering drums unlike the sheen of other soundalikes like Editors, thers a bit of a Talking Heads influence in there too i think...

i'm not selling this well... but they are brilliant

I just bought set yourself on fire and I like it. It's not "new-new", but it's new to me.

Cinematic Orchestra are a bit dodgy

i suppose you could call them 'nu-jazz' (ewwww) or jazz for people what like breaks. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does edge onto the wrong side of boring sometimes. And the vocals are often big diva-esque soul things with terrible 'uplifting' lyrics.

So you might have gathered this isn't the most glowing appraisal, but i'm only judging on the album Every Day so it might be different on other releases.
