Free MP3: Another Cynthia

I could write a post comparing Another Cynthia to numerous bands, discussing possible influences, and styles that I hear. The fact is though, Another Cynthia, has taken the best parts of four decades of music and distilled them into something truly original, that most easily labeled synthy dance pop, but undoubtedly goes deeper. These guys define what it means to be DIY: for the past five years they’ve produced their own records, played countless shows, and gotten their music featured on VH1 and MTV without a label. With multiple Top 10 finishes discover Another Cynthia with Indoctrination

Blitzen Trapper @ Bumbershoot 2008

I’ve heard a lot of buzz about Blitzen Trapper but hadn’t checked them out until today. They’re good. Really good. Heartfelt lo-fi pop/country/electronic songs with beautiful harmonies and subtle complexity in meter and chord changes. They’re shaping up to be the band I annoyingly hype to all my friends over the next few weeks (i.e. White Denim in late February, early March).
