out Of The Box On Sunday XXXIII

Two Years by Tancred

Tancred (blog) is Now Now's Jess' solo music. This project sounds as sweet and precious as her band's music, only the minimalism of little more than her voice and an acoustic guitar creates an amazing cozy atmosphere. As always, the voice sounds angelic and moving, hovering over not too fancy-recorded acoustic guitars, to give it a hint of a lo-fi kind of sound.

Out of the box on sunday XII

 listen to All You Need Is Blood by Test Icicles

 Test Icicles were a wildly energetic screamy/dancey punkish indie band. quite a lot of ingrediënts, but quite the conistent end product. just 3 hipsters with a mic, passing along guitars, while an iPod busts out their drumlines with occasional additional bleeps and other electronic noise. this often reminds of The Blood Brothers writing songs as catchy as Death From Above or Franz Ferdinand. members went on to form Rat Att Agg (aka Wrists), Kasms and most notibally Lightspeed Champion.

Out Of The box on sunday XI (fixed!!)

  listen to Puss by The Jesus Lizard

ever wondered where bands like Daughters, These Arms Are Snakes and Young Widows got that what the fuck(ed up) sound from? that not sure if want awkward song-structures and vocals with seemingly random words and riffs. The kind that really grows on you! The Jesus Lizard (website) were doing it, back when Nirvana was still underground enough to do a split with such a band (which they did). rooted in the late 80's and early 90's alternative rock, their twist to it consisted of that sound of sheer insanity and al-ways catchy hooks. the latter may need to sink in, as it is smothered in the chaos and noise, so don't give up on it too soon.
