Remember how in February (2 posts ago, yeah, consistency...) I said that 2009 would be the year of Power Pop, well I was only kidding! Turns out Lo-fi, fuzzy, dream-pop is the way things are going (at least for now?!) Led by groups like Wavves (and championed by Pitchfork and Vice), noise-y basement types seem to cropping up all over the place...Power pop, where art thou?
Internet findings that I'll probably listen to a few times:
wavves
pens
blank dogs
crystal stilts (not that new)
christmas island
et al.
I'm not going to lie, I just read the wavves interview on pitchfork and that's where the list's from. But still! I anticipate an unending wavve (I did not resist) of obscurity and cassette hiss for the time being.
