Monday night.

Prinzhorn Dance School.


This is all about sparse clean bass and not much else. The vocals sell it with warm rich tones and guitar high points here and there. It kind of reminds me a bit of a very stripped down Huggy Bear trying to sound like the white stripes. Very minimal and repetitive pop. Maybe it's just the accent though. They have a nice page too. No myspace slacking for these two.

Prinzhorn Dance School - Worker.
Prinzhorn Dance School - Eat, Sleep.

The Harlem Shakes.


"Think Housemartins meet the Shins with Beach Boys harmonies and a dash of Eno-style weirdness. "

That's what their website say.
I couldn't be bothered to think up my own and I'm not a huge shins fan (Sorry.), but I dig this.

The Harlem Shakes - Sicko!

Malsain.



Norway still has some fine black metal. I really like all the new strains and expansions that the genre is taking. Malsain is very mid-tempo and creepy, but with just enough power and force to make it fun. Also, the singer is named Skumring. Also, check out that bald fella.... is he not disturbing? Dig around on their website and I promise you'll find a great picture of him.

Malsain - Cement Forest.
