If You Believe That, Darling You'd Better Run, Run!

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Of all the productive things that made today great, these guys topped it for me.  Probably one of the best composition of sounds I have heard in a long time,  and if you don't know by now, I love bands that can pull off cross over clashing combinations of genres from song to song.  Mr. Hudson & The Library have quickly become one of my favorites.  

Their debut album, "A Tale Of Two Cities" is off the Deal Real Records label. The name of the album was inspired by the origins of the band members, Some are from Birmingham and some are from London.  Nice and Easy.  The album came out over 6 months ago (man I'm losing it!) and they are currently touring.  They've opened for Erykah Badu, Amy Whinehouse, and Groove Armada to name a few.  

They have 80s influences, mixed with synths, drum machines, a little jazz, and a whole bunch of subtle lyrics over beats with a little dance.  Underlined indie rock harmonies with R&B pop some-a-some.  Another Heavy rotation, and an album definitely worth pickin' up!  First enjoy these tracks and you'll know exactly what I mean.

they sound like a mix between The Strokes and The Libertines...vocally anyways.

Instrumentally..it's a mixed bag...a good mixed bag, like halloween night.

They do not really sound like anyone exactly but have the style of The Police... the first group that came to mind when i heard them and someone said Cake... I agree!
