it started with 'Obrigado Saudade'
and i had just that album for so long, maybe too long. josh, alex w-f and I saw them at bottom of the hill like one of the last weeks of freshman year. i thoguth it was an ok show, but i didn't recognize one of their songs. but they were fun i think. i don't know, i guess i wasn't down. but this year I downloaded 'Bem-Vinda Vontade'.
i hated it at first. it was so poppy, so hooky compared to the last one. but oh how the album has grown like a rotten fetus (?) on me. i'm so down with it, its ridiculous. its god great drumming, its not loud like zach hill or like math rock. its very precise and intricate at times, but he just throws teh snare drum on random beats with little fills here in there, and oh how i would love to be a drummer with a sense of time like him! its so good. the singing has gotten better across the albums. its a bit blase like quasi in a sense. emotionless, yet singing of emotion things at time. never screaming, never eally loud. just kind of talking narrating. Kria brekkan is on a few songs on every album, and they are always excellent. and there are vibs, and otehr percussive mallet instruments. i'm so down. and classical style guitar! not always, but its nylon string with gives it a very different vibe. the guy who made this band is adam pierce, and he was a drummer first i think. how cool would that be if i got on top of my shit enough to make music liek this adam does one day. i'm listening to the second album now. and it has even more electronic keyboards and noises going. i'm so down with this band! i think ya'll shoudl get on this, because its such good music that is not known about at all!!
