The 2015 edition of PDX Pop Now! Another great collection of Oregon bands from pop, to rap, to folk, to instrumental, lots of good stuff on here. It is a 2 disk set, so I gave it 2 keys and 2 separate reviews to make finding tracks easier. Disc 2 FCCs: 2, 8, 12, 21 Recommended from Disc 2: 6, **7**, **10**, 11, **13**, 14, 17, **18** 1. (4:22) Shoegazy, kind of Tame Impala-y, solid but not mind blowing. 2. (5:33) FCC FUCK Girl electronic pop, downtempo with rap verse. 3. (4:04) Electro-pop, male vocals, nothing groundbreaking but solid song 4. (2:22) This is likely considered Ska, which is probably why I don’t like it… 5. (4:04) Electronic backing, almost sounds like postal service but no where near as good. 6. (3:38) * Upbeat electronic indie pop, girl vox, reminds me of Metric combined with CHVRCHES 7. (4:31) ** Love this, sounds like A Fine Frenzy, piano, strings, steal brushes on the drums, 3/4 time, lovely. 8. (3:43) FCC SHIT Another great track, not quite sure how best to describe other than girl fronted rock song, great melody, slightly electronic effects but really just a solid and catch track, great baseline. 9. (3:29) This one is pretty boring, indie rock, male vocals. 10. (4:56) **I really like this one, distant and dreamy, super pretty, great melody, short and sweet. 11. (3:24) *Up beat rock’n’roll, slightly distorted, really good though. 12. (1:00) Punk track, pretty sure there are FCCs but I can’t tell. 13. ** (4:53) Cool instrumental track, almost Dan Deacon-y. 14. (3:51) * Great indie rock track, good lyrics, great melody, really like it. 15. (4:29) Country song, super pretty instrumentation. 16. (4:35) This is not my favorite, sounds like florence and the machine goes acoustic…maybe trying to sound like Joni Mitchell…a little to whiney for me. 17. (2:58) * Male + Female vocals, great melody, mid tempo, easy listening. 18. (3:42) ** Great track, really cool instrumentation, great female vocalists, down tempo electronicy 19. (3:12) This is super boring, downtempo, synth, wispy vocals. 20. (2:28) Distorted Rock, not my favorite but also not my genre. 21. (1:14) FCC FUCK Snappy, kind of punky, male and female vocals. | ||
