Annuals

Posted over 3 years ago
Digging this album today. Check out my favorite tracks:"Carry Around":http://itstoolong.com/musica/02%20Carry%20around.mp3 <<< catchy chorus"Brother":http://www.acefu.com/MP3s/brother.mp3 <<< rocks out when you least expect it to"Dry Clothes":http://www.acefu.com/MP3s/annuals-blearyeyed.mp3 <<< interesting song structure.There's a lot more going on here than I initially heard. I love songs that reveal themselves in layers. If you can deal with the bizarro yelping and screaming in the background of some of the songs, you'll come to appreciate how it adds to the character of the overall sound. Enjoy!Oh and thanks to lemontwist for hooking me up :)

    Manos says You already know how I feel about this album. It's definitely in my 2006 top 5. "I love songs that reveal themselves in layers." That's a great way to describe their music, me thinks.

    Viva La Britt says Hmm, I think I'm starting to understand your musical palate better. Am I hearing some Arcade Fire-ness here? The music is upbeat without being ridiculous (a rare occurence these days), and "Carry Around" is yet another tune that fits the bill of "song that sounds all happy and stuff but the lyrics aren't so much".

    Manos says If this is Arcade Fire-ish, I'll need to check them out.

    tybees says Oh man if you haven't heard the Arcade Fire yet I highly recommend ??Funeral??. Annuals do have a similar sound, but both bands are still quite distinctive. And silly me, I haven't really paid attention to the lyrics of "Carry Around" yet, I've been to busy groovin'.

    ix3johnbender says Thanks for your lovely comment. :) This music is very cool! It takes a little while to warm up to the sound, but I like it. Personally, I love layered songs, too. As soon as I read your post (before listening to the songs) I immediately thought of The Receiving End of Sirens. Their sound is totally different from Annuals, but almost all of the guys in TREOS have vocal parts, and they all mesh together at parts so if you listen to different parts you hear different words. For the first few months of listening to their CD, "Between the Heart and the Synapse", I found something new each time. Quite frankly, I loved it! Maybe they'd interest you, too... again, they're definitely harder than Annuals, but if you're up to it check them out. http://www.purevolume.com/thereceivingendofsirens "This Armistice" is one of my favorite TREOS songs. Enjoy!

    ix3johnbender says Oh and PS, if you decide to listen to "This Armistice", even if you don't like it, wait it out. The end is the best part.

    Diana is a Stud says I can only download from myspace because I use a computer for my school and they put a block on it so I can't download anything
