We left ourselves behind on dancing wire
Feb. 22nd, 2013 02:53 pmIt's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
( You what? )
If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.
The link to the mp3 will expire at some point in the future.
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Future Islands - Seize a Shark [link to mp3 download expired, or YouTube link may still be active]
While browsing around my mp3 collection the other day, I ran across Future Islands. Er... who? I popped the album on. The opening track was fairly inoffensive synthy noodling. Ah well, I thought. That explains why I can't remember who they are.
Then the rest of the album happened, and I sat up and took notice. Future Islands are a synthpop band from Baltimore, Wikipedia tells me. What Wikipedia doesn't mention so much are the eager, driving basslines which remind me of Vengeance-era NMA, or the rough voice of the singer, or the overall raw edges.
I've been listening to Wave Like Home a lot since I found it. I'm not sure where I got it from. I have a vague idea that it might have been one of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grahamb's recommendations.
Anyway, I haven't yet tracked down any more of their albums, but I highly recommend this one.
