I See The Wold In A Swirl Of Hues

The Recluse - Cursive

I had a Cursive shirt from this album, and it was my favorite shirt for several years. Clearly I go shopping a lot. The strings are really what sold me on this band. They are very different and fall along the lines of experimental sometimes. Very solid band, this particular album is my favorite.

Control Freak - Copeland

This is a boring band to see live, but their music is incredible. "They're like the largest touring band that no one goes to see," said a friend of mine about a month ago. It made me laugh, but it's probably true.

Red Hands - The Dear Hunter

I got hooked on this song for awhile. This is definitely my favorite track off their three albums so far. They have a Gatsby's-esque feel with a mix of parlor music and rock themes.

Theatre - Gatsby's American Dream

These guys defined a unique sound that many bands today have taken inspirations from. They are known for their nontraditional song compositions where choruses are considered optional. I wish this band was still putting out albums. Nic is possibly the most charismatic frontman I have ever seen live.

Lovers Who Uncover - The Little Ones

This is a catchy song I found on KEXP. I was listening to it today, and so it fits the billfold to be listed on the site. I don't know anything about this band, except that it has a mood that could almost be taken as a light-hearted happy version of the Strokes.



This video, much like the Jill & Kevin's Wedding Entrance Dance video, just makes me happy.
