The City and Horses / “We Will Never be Discovered” / Paper Garden Records Really loved this! These guys seem relatively unknown, and it’s a shame. Each song is quite different, and I can’t even relate them to anyone else. So helpful, I know. Male tenor voice, often doubled/harmonized, occasional female voice harmonizes, or duets (#4, 10), or takes lead (#8). Second half seems a bit more cookie cutter (or maybe I got used to it?) than first half, except a solid #7. FCC #2 (“holy shit” twice) Favorite tracks: 1, 2 (but FCC), 7, 8 1. *3:15 Borderline William Shatner-esque spoken verse, catchy sung verse, electric bass, horn & flute. Kinda 80s ish. Cool! 2. *3:33 FCC “holy shit” twice - damnit! Really liked this one. Pretty strummed guitars, downtempo but kinda sadly upbeat. Harmonized vocals throughout, really nice! 3. 1:56 Uptempo, strummed guitar, fun song about wearing war paint everywhere. Silly fun. 4. 3:48 Cute midtempo song about work romances, complaining about bosses. Duet with girl, adorably singing about “dip[ping] our pens in the company ink”, haaah. 5. 3:07 Downtempo, sad simple strummed guitar, pretty emo, but also solid simple song. Nice. Use of phrase “monastic creep”, heh. 6. 3:20 Uptempo, clapping, girl chorus interspersed. Sounds like a show tune, about getting older and meeting the girl of his dreams, drinking, doing drugs. 7. *3:51 Jangly rock, nicely talk/sung lyrics, borderline honky-tonk piano even thrown in. Builds nicely w/“oohs”. Great. 8. *3:09 Uptempo, quick piano pace, mid-range female singer, great voice, especially with “dum dee dums”. sounds a bit Regina Spektor-ish. 9. 2:48 Uptempo, male & female singing same thing at first, great song about a tall guy (“he can dunk on Kobe Bryant”). 10. 2:22 Slowish, guitars, duet with female, occasional flutes, simple, nice.
