I’ve always enjoyed bands that obviously put their time in composing their music. It’s especially fun when the sound can be converted to something that sounds more live. Bands like The Strokes and Collective Soul and The The sound like guitar bands, but they are so tight and orchestrated that you know there’s more going on below the surface. These guys can handle sequencers as well as Mark Mothersbaugh.
Here, Julian skips the conversion of his compositions to shiny homogenized guitar strumming, and this time it’s all the better for it. All kinds of sonic textures to enjoy.
