Almost... but not quite
Episode two of this week's "the shit I wasted my money on the other night because I was depressed" theme continues! Having a theme like this almost makes me feel like I have a real professional music blog or something! Future themes are already forming in my mind - look out for "singles that start with diphthongs", "albums that feature harp guitars and mandolinettos", and "music that reminds me of puking", coming soon!
In the meantime, today it's The Notwist, a band I'd label "rocktronica" for lack of a better term (or lack of a desire to really think about it very hard). An Amazon reviewer correctly points out how much the guy's voice might remind you of Belle & Sebastian, but the music itself is a great combination of crunchy electronics and good old-fashioned rock geetar. From the 2003 album Neon Golden, on Domino USA (the cats what also brought you releases by Four Tet, Max Tundra, The Magnetic Fields, Mouse On Mars, Ulrich Schnauss, Elliott Smith, and many, many more).
