Lost band from Brooklyn sometime in the mid-2000s. Kinda folk, kinda punk, but not folk-punk if that makes sense. Forgot about them until I found an old iPod Touch a few months ago.
A documentary that was born all because someone once found a 7โ single from an unknown Detroit band by the name of Death. Turns out the band of 3 brothers had essentially nailed the sound of punk music years before it had become a thing. As a result of the documentary the band reunited and began touring again, decades after breaking up.
a friend gave me a burned CD of this band's album in 2005. iโve been trying to remember the name of that band ever since. tried googling lyrics, vibes, even the design and color of the album artwork. nothing ever came up. this week i found the files sitting quietly on an old hard drive i thought was long dead.
20 years later. still hits.
Oh my god this took me forever to remember! I love the 2000โs, especially because the period of time between digital releases becoming the standard and streaming meant that a lot of artists who couldnโt get major deals could pretty easily spread their music around. Unfortunately a lot of these artists are lost to the ether, mainly due to poor archiving, and this one is definitely lost to time. If you like animal collective (especially around the the mid 2000โs before they got a little more refined and poppy) you will absolutely love this, a proper deluge of weirdly folky, psychedelic-y, at times fast and manic sounds.
What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene. Driving is so pedestrian.
