Wanna Be Sedated?

posted in: Music News

Sometimes you want to be rocked and rolled all night, and some times you just want to lie there and be lulled into oblivion. For the latter, check out the etherizing songs of Minneapolis-based indie pop band Aviette. The trio, led by singer/guitarist Holly Muñoz, doesn’t often break from formula “ thankfully it’s not a bad one. Expect high register guitars that yawn and reverberate, syncopated drums that sound just a touch overproduced and Muñoz’s sweet, gossamer voice, which spins around the arrangements like cotton candy. Though the synths may crunch and the guitars may rear up, for the most part the mood is even-keeled. Aviette’s songs run on the short side, but don’t fret. When the ether wears off after three minutes, there’s another dose on the way.
