Recovery Mode...

Hope everyone had a great weekend. My abs still hurt from laughing so hard on Sunday night. Purdy was out of control with the Stunnas in the front and Ray/Jessica in the Scarface room. No one wanted to leave when the lights came on. After a sucession of three word chants ("One more song!", "Let it play!" and "Three word chants!!") we ventured deep into Sobe (San Loco's) which was CLOSED! Missed some guaco-loco by minutes...

Sorry for the late post but the bloggers (not the blog) are in recovery mode... (Dominos until 2am last night...). Anyways, on to bizness...

Boston's Boy In Static has his first album dropping today called Violet on Mush Records (Aesop Rock, Daedelus, Boom Bip!!!, Her Space Holiday...). When the track highlighted below, starts, you are hit with a minimal beat. But before you know it, fuzzy guitars pop in and the beats drop to the background. Vocals, viola, organs, more blips and beeps and Alexander Chen's smooth vocals all start piling up on each other (in a good way) make this an early standout track for the year.

The group is just Chen in the studio with a larger touring band for live shows. Fans of Slowdive, DNTEL/Postal Service, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead will enjoy this track.
