It is
very rare for me to fall in love with a band within the first five seconds of
my hearing their music, but I did exactly that with Appendixes and what’s more
remarkable is that this is a live album.
Sometimes
the best way to be introduced to a band is not by a live recording, but this
one is right on. In fact, other than
the times the singer talks to the crowd and you can hear some clapping in
between songs, this has a definite studio sound quality to it.
The
songs are somewhere between indie rock, shoegaze and, yes, even country. There is a guitar riff in the first song and
variations of it throughout some other songs that sounds like it could be out
of an old western movie, such as when a dual is about the occur. The real kind of showdown at the O.K.
Corral.
It’s
not quite Mazzy Starr and it’s not quite The Cranberries, but Appendixes do
have what I like to call that good version of Sheryl Crow in their music and
for that I think you will also enjoy them.
