Well, Lost's finale for
Season 3 didn't bother to disappoint last night. Here's hoping the
first episode of Season 4 is just as brilliant, especially since we have to
wait until 2008 to see it. Yuck. Let's move onto today's ramble
about Dappled Cities, who just so happen to be from the very place that
Lost's Flight 815 departed from before the crash. Coincidence?
Probably not. Anyway, this quintet is quite good and they are on the
verge of releasing their sophomore effort titled Granddance on June
5. The disc, which comes courtesy of Dangerbird Records, looks as if
it will be another fine addition to the numerous other indie pop albums that
have been ruling the world lately. Enjoy.
:Dappled Cities - Fire Fire Fire:
When I look at how the cover art for Granddance matches what the band
seems to be about I can completely understand why this dreamy pop song feels
so perfectly realized. The sound is a wonderful flowing mixture of
energetic drumming, catchy guitar riffs and just enough umph from the
other instruments so that it keeps from becoming stale. I could
probably listen to this without any vocals, though I should note that they
are rather spectacular. In fact, I still can't stop humming "You're
not a fire, so I will not dance in you."
Youtube
actually had a plethora of live videos and interviews but I
really enjoyed what was made for the song above. It's
a very charming piece so feel free to love it lots.
