Sparkiovoggel, the

THIS IS GREAT! Think of a capella on crack, with occasional passes into late 60s psych and avant garde contemporary classical music. The Sparkiovoggel construct music with vocal loops layered one after the other along with synth loops until reaching the point of absurdity. Occasionally, there is a minimal guitar-driven song, but most tracks are experimental vocal loops that work really well. The songs take me somewhere in between the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Magnetic Fields, and Ween. Really funny, kind of disturbing, very interesting.
