Why?- Eskimo Snow

I remember reading an interview with Why?'s Yoni Wolf a few months back. He said something about how it new album very un-hip hop compared to what he's done before.

And it's true, Eskimo Snow is more laid back and melodic compared to Alopecia.

But that doesn't mean its bad at all. Sure, the album doesn't have any epic build up moment's like The Hollows in Alopecia, but I found this album really sweet, and maybe a bit more optimistic.

And just because he doesn't sing as fast, it doesn't mean the lyrics aren't as awesome.
(I wanna speak at an intimate decibel,
with the precision of an infinite decimal.)

The lyrics are still Why?'s strongest point, and that's what makes this album so enjoyable.

Highlights:
January Twenty Something

California Goths

Wavves makes brilliant music (yes, I am a Wavves lover), but man, does he have the most uncreative album and song titles. And album covers. Jesus.

The guy seems to be obsessed with self-titling, goths, summer goths, surf goths, california goths, beach goths, beach demons, weed demons and beaches.

Thank God his newest song, Cool Jumper, is a little more original (and a great song).

-A few questions about goths. They crop up in your song titles a lot, and so I have to ask: do you consider yourself a goth, know many goths, or have anything against goths? Is California a sort of goth utopia?
-I don't know.

With his previous two albums named Wavves and Wavvves, will we soon see a Wavvvves?
Only time will tell.

Long Time No Post?

News. Atlas S.. fuck I hate this font.
OK. So Atlas Sound's album Logos got leaked. It's good. A lot of people seem to be liking Shelia, but I think Quick Canal's nice.

Hey did facebook just get updated? I like it.

I'm doing a music assignment on Ella Fitzgerald and I watched a video of her scat singing. It blew my mind.

Tomorrow I'm watching my brother's school play. It's The Wizard of Oz and my brother is a bug. With a silver face.

And to finish on a viral note, here's a video of Beyonce and Jay Z chillin at a Grizzly Bear show.
