Artist: The Generationals
Year: 2009
This new funky band is better known for there single "When They Fight, They Fight" played in Urban Outfitters stores around the country. Despite some comments, I think this album is exceptional. Coming out of New Orleans this band is led by Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner. Using echoey keyboards and the occasional blare of horns they present a unique roughness with guitar effects and solid drum beats. Coupled with feedback and the sound of singing in a bathroom this record is quality. Some free songs are available at http://generationals.bandcamp.com/ Songs I would recommend would include "Wildlife Sculpture" which has an amazing keyboard riff that is especially catchy. Another would be "Exterior-Street-Day" which gives off Talking Heads/The Cars vibes with old school lazy vocals and a sing-a-long chorus. If your looking for a catchy bass line and all out great song "When They Fight, They Fight" is a song everyone should buy.
I myself am in a band (Crash Hero) and if your curious can check us out on Youtube.

ReplyDeleteThe Generationals are beyond amazing. They give off a really retro yet postmodern feel. and I really like the variety they have in the instrumentation of this album.
ReplyDeleteI agree noah, I like the throwback vibes mixed with new age melodies and scratchy vocals.
