Varying indie work-- a compilation of songs of VERY varying quality (and style). And I even have to qualify that statement because what is ‘good’ and what is ‘not good’ depends entirely on what criteria you use and who you are. I am going to use my own personal criteria and I hope you find that useful. This is basically a cornucopia of different types of indie and alternative music, and many of the artists are ‘hip’ and well-known, like you’ve seen them at South-by-Southwest. Descriptions below would be more helpful. Rec: 2, 10, 11, 12 1 starts off interesting and whimsical but the chorus only gets a B-, slightly emo, nice coda ending 2 short piece by Neko Case, my-t-fine. 3 silly thing about the recession and getting money back on taxes, ironic, nice little bubblegum pop, play with Magnetic Fields if you must 4 not my thing, but interesting guitar work 5 FCC ‘shit’ rap piece, more silly than witty, words about being in the projects, etc. 6 dumb baritone chanting to start, the thing seems a bit Waits-ish, but it in fact is everyone’s favorite, Man Man. OK, I can respect this 7 I don’t like the lyrics, seems like a basic alt-folk piece. Might have the ‘classic’ thing going. 8 FCC ‘shit’ I do like this, good alt.country.rock, interesting last minute, for sure 9 FCC ‘fucked’ 10 interesting synth pop piece with horns, female vocals 11 instrumental ornate synth bells and organic celestial like translating some of Ed Ka-spel’s work into a bit more indie pop, gets really noisy and climactic at end 12 starts with more of the same then a cool, long dance piece, Giorgio Moroder?, that sort of faux-whispered vocal stuff | ||
