More acoustic today woohoo. I was trying to think, considering the people i know read this thing, what genres would be best to focus on to keep those readers until i get some more. And then i realised that all of these people have different tastes in music. Some even polar oppisites, so today i've decided to play safe with some acoustic. Although i'm not sure any of you will end up being interested in this one anyway.
CALL ME ANADARKO
Another cool name, if not slightly bizarre. But i'm sure we've learnt by now that even bands with cool names don't always pay up when it comes to the musical side of things. And i want so so so badly to tell you guys that this band is good, but i'm struggling really hard to think of anything to write that isn't 'please, please, please learn how to sing'
I mean, not to sound mean of course (i would never to that. Honestly) because i do like the acoustic they've got going on; the combination of piano and guitar picking works really well in most of their songs. But honestly neither member of this brother/sister combo were born with the good singing gene. And the more you listen, the more you ignore the nice melodie and instrumentals and found it impossible to concentrate on anything other than the fact the these people cannot hold a note. It's not all bad (trust me) because these guys do have a -limited- sense of tone and tune, but if you can't hold a single note you're singing for more than about half a second without your voice going painfully flat, it's noticeable. In a big way.
Now please don't think i'm being a dick because i realise these guys are not professionals - they are two siblings doing what they love and performing in coffee shops. And there's no reason why they can't perform perfectly well at what they like doing. And big respect to anyone who wants to follow music as a career, but i just can't listen to this music without cringing even slightly at those god-awful harmonies. I'm sorry but it has to be said, and just like that guy with a lisp i reviewed near the beginning of this project, i feel bad for dissing these people who are just making music and having fun with it.
Although i'm sure the lisp guy deserved it. Honestly.
