“The
Truman Sho” begins with a harmony of strings and beats, which make me think of
several bands but mainly as a nice introduction to what is about to
follow. Acoustic guitars run wild as
this becomes a singer/songwriter mixed with full band vibe that I can’t quite
place to anyone else specifically but can hear some slight influences of at
least.
The
first idea that came to my mind was that of They Might Be Giants, but really,
that is a band with too much source material that I feel you could quote them
almost everywhere these days and be right, so how do you know if it sounds like
“Song A” from ten years ago or “Song B” from their latest release, or something
in between all of that?
There
are hints of Piebald in here, though it can tend to be country in its roots
somehow as well. But that isn’t to say
in any way that this resembles a country version of Piebald. It also can take a turn for the electric
side, such as electro pop rock, which really channels The Stereo and maybe some
other bands I’ve never heard of before.
Flashlight
O is a new take on an old formula that can bring to mind some of your favorites
without borrowing too closely to any of their styles. This must be heard.
