5.0 out of 5 stars Sonic Youth/Metric Fans Should Rejoice, June 17, 2011

This review is from: Sunshower EP (MP3 Download)

Saw them recently at a sparsely populated show here in-town, and bought their EP, couldn't feel worse for them, they should be playing in front of hundreds/thousands every night.

The Sunshower EP is noticeably more mature and toned-down from their debut, but takes them in a positive direction and will no doubt elicit comparisons to Emily Haines and Metric. Yet Marnie is the sole guitar player and vocalist, and her talent and sound is huge for a waif-like, stringy blonde who doubled as a college "ethics" instructor. I have to admit it makes them that much more appealing. No doubt influenced by the great Austin, TX music scene where they originate, they bring forth an energy and attention to good guitar riffs and moody numbers the Indie scene has been missing for a while.

I can help but to think of Kim Gordon at times when I hear Marnie scream or during the catchy, low-key processions of the "Sunshower" track. I hate to compare fairly original musicians to others, but it's a bit undeniable here, yet it does not take away from their appeal at all, and she sets herself apart with plenty of original guitar playing and a fantastic voice, crafting loud, rocking songs that intertwine with moodier, introspective lyrics and the classic loud/quiet/loud formula that never gets old when done right.

Really looking forward to their next album due out on 8/31/11, I sense they're going places.

Saw ume opening for the Toadies at the St. Paddies day concert.
Bought the 180 gram gold vinyl album. It's outstanding. Great music, excellent production quality as well.

Not to mention the beautiful lead singer even autographed it for me!

The Sunshower Ep is an amazing effort. Greatly surpassing their previous full-length which couldn't quite capture the intense and brooding sound the band puts on live. This is an ep worth owning to hold you over until their next album.If you're unsure about the ep try out Pendulum, Conductor or Sunshower.

I wouldn't recommend buying their first album try downloading these songs.
