i put my media player on random and the first song that played was saw you by playjerise. so i took it off random and let the album play through. the cd, emotionology, is a little gem i unexpectedly picked up last friday night at a gig. making the outside acoustic stage their home, this duo have a penchant for stupid names (see 'playjerise' and 'emotionology') and awesome guitar licks. and i don't even just like them because one of the dudes is ridiculously good looking. promise.
the song came on just then and my heart lifted. really. off my ribs and into my shoulder. (ew, i hope not. taking pulled at my heartstrings to a new level.) it's decent lyrics; it's two guitars in tight unison and messy vocals and basic beautiful harmonies. yet a really full sound, rounded out by the occasional string instrument and that brush drumming thing lior's drummer does so well. stunning stuff, i think. actually the lead guitarist owns the album and the live show. and not just coz he's the hot one either. promise. live, even the lead singer would stop in the middle of a line to go wow how good does that sound to his mate.
but there is this really stupid song that talks about someone called boris and does this hella cliched echoing thing. and no, i haven't really listened to the lyrics, but i can't take any song that talks about a boris seriously. call it a character flaw.
nonetheless. a local band with a tiny following that deserves me to be their newest groupie.
and not just coz of the hot dude.
promise.
