Life has calmed down a bit allowing me to get back to my music hobby. Timing is particularly good since Sound Supply just dropped #5. First, if you are not familiar with Sound Supply and are a music explorer like I am, you should check it out. I went whole hog and did the Year's Supply of music for $75 which totals up to 60 albums. You can choose to pay by drop, but there are bonuses for good sales, so if they don't reach their sales number, you might not get all the music for that drop. If you do the Year's Supply, you automatically get the bonus material even if the one-at-a-timers don't. Sounds more complicated than it is. If you can read this, you can read their website too.
Anyway, back to the point: Buried Beds. They got my attention right away, which is a tough call since I uploaded 348 new songs to my iPod last weekend. Needless to say, I spent much of my week trying to stay plugged in as much as I could, but I still didn't make it through all the new stuff yet. This Philadelphia group seems to have been around for awhile. Members take turns on vocals. I tend to prefer the songs where Eliza takes the lead. She has a great sound, similar to Regina Spektor. I love Regina's sound, but her songs are sometimes a bit too quirky for me. So with Eliza, you get the sound without some of that weirdness.
Some of their intros are a little long for my taste. I really get annoyed by long intros, but at least their intros are more than a random drumbeat for the first half of the song. Favorite songs so far are Breadcrumb Trail and Telegram.
Go get some...
