Indie Sound Speaks No Lies
New album showcases Son Ambulance, Bright Eyes Don't miss Oh Holy Fools — The Music of Son, Ambulance and Bright Eyes<, due out January 22, 2001 on the very cool Saddle Creek label (hey, they put out the Spoon CD single "The Agony of Laffitte"). The album showcases two bands: Son, Ambulance and Bright Eyes. This is a kind of quiet pop music that reminds me a little of the Red House Painters. Get a load of this lyric from Bright Eyes' "Going for the Gold": "I know a girl who cries when she practices violin. Because each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes. Now, to me, everything else just sounds like a lie." [Friday, December 10, 2000] |
