Quiet, Too Quiet

Month: June 2008

  • Foundry Field Recordings

    I don\’t remember where I first heard Foundry Field Recordings. Probably KEXP or something similar. They\’re really good though. Maybe if Neutral Milk Hotel wrote songs about old wars?  Oh wait, they did. The album I have, Prompts/Miscues, seems to be a concept album, but I\’m not sure what the concept is. Oh well, I\’m…

  • Her Space Holiday

    My sister\’s wedding was a complete blast.  We basically had everyone dancing for two hours straight.  Lots of 60s rock and then 80s at the end.  It was a great time. While Kat and I were ironing tablecloths in preparation, I heard this song The Doctor and the DJ on Soma FM by the band…

  • Kitty Craft

  • Masters of the Hemisphere

    Masters of the Hemisphere were one of the first indiepop bands I ever heard. They were on this kindercore compilation and their song On The Streets The Key was just amazing. It has this multi-layered ending with three vocal sections.  And Meteor has a great ending too in the same style. I still get it…

  • Shoegaze Sunday – Galaxie 500
