Illinois group made up of former members of Loose Lips Sink Ships. This is a bit of a departure here from the formers math happy tap a thon. Renaissance Sound dish out heaping helping's of instrumental Jazz rock/Math rock with an almost a lounge quality. My favorite portion has to be the vibraphone and violin working together or playing at odds with one another. Its makes for some beautiful moments where all instruments are fighting for their own spotlight. When its hard to pay too close attention to one thing because everyone is doing something amazing you know that you've hit straight gold. Did I forget to mention there's occasional vocals? yep and they are sweet sauce. Do it for yourself this is a group that will produce a great many wonderful things in the future.
ps. track 2 "dereks journey" at 1:15 I swear that bass line sounds eerily similar to the bass line in "Penelope" by Pinback.
Band Camp it up!
I concur
ReplyDeleteGood ear, there is a brief penelope quote in there! Most folks have not noticed, consider yourself very attentive.
ReplyDelete:) it's a great song to "tip the cap" to and a fantastic group for that matter.
ReplyDeleteIt's possibly unhealthy how many times I've listened to this EP
