Henry Wolfe's delightful pop crosses generations

As of late, many young artists have leaned towards more antiquated musical stylings to boast their musical prowess. It's a cyclical thing - once what sounds new becomes an old trope, there's always some relegated genre about to make a reappearance for the even younger to discover. While we wait for the next buzzband to adopt the smooth delivery of Steely Dan, we currently have the winsome pop delicacies of Henry Wolfe. On the surface, the melodies Wolfe performs with his five piece could pass for the slightly unorthodox methods of a young Randy Newman - he's easy on the eye but his words are pungent, with the smarts to charm a middle-aged lady into liking him and convincing him to drive her up to Margaritaville. This is middle-of-the-road seventies pop of the highest order with a wink of nostalgia thrown into the mix. But the music is anything but ironic - Wolfe's slick strums and pacific rhetoric are just a way to communicate the pains of unrequited love. So before some top line producer sequesters him for a string of Nora Ephron movie scores (or some quirky animated film about a couple of precocious kids), take a listen to his promising debut Linda Vista before he crosses over - then thinking about it, it's plausible to imagine the whole family singing along to his memorable ditties.

You're not alone is also my ftiuorvae song. You can hear bowie listened to this religiously and tried to ape the sound for himself. It's interesting just how minimal the percussion really is and is just right for the song. Very powerful. Just imagine recording that drum track yourself without all the other tracks that went on it and being blown away with the finished song. When bands as genius as this one is does something so simple and yet so powerful it truly something to ponder and marvel at. Explode like a star is also great and quite catchy and european and all the good stuff that about krautrock! Keep it up!

Funeral Party
Golden Age of Nowhere

mp3

Funeral Party blends punk aesthetics infused with a nuevo Indie vibe that blows the doors off The Strokes, Killers, and Arcade Fire. This LA group breeds a new crop of the next generations distain for the mundane. Released on March 29th, The Golden Age of Knowhere expresses the angst of youth and gives off the same vibrant energy you experience attending their live performances. The defiance, competitive nature, and taunting in "New York City moves to the Sound of LA" says it all. Every track on this album has a strength to it that when tied together play as a cohesively tight album. The stand out tracks are "Finale", "NYC Moves 2 the sound of LA", and "Youth & Poverty", but even that breakdown isn't fair given the great effort from this band on the verge. Funeral Party opens for Panic! at the Disco at The Wiltern, June 21st.
