"Cassette Couture" @ 2:08 AM
Good music doesn't always sound "good." Sometimes the rusty charm of poorly mixed pop or the screechy serenade of untrained lungs is the perfect vehicle for a feeling or an idea. And while Nathan Williams and his so-so hype-happy project Wavves bask
(and break down) in the lo-fi spotlight, there are a couple peers that don't deserve the wayside...
WOODS (when your vocalist looks like Dwight Shrute all your press photos are taken at beet farms)
THE SKYGREEN LEOPARDS ("just loungin' n shit, gettin' our faux-candid on")
If its a contest, or if your chimp rock catalogue needs a boost, the Skygreen Leopards shimmer in a way that Woods doesn't. Or they just have better songs. And the Leopard live show, while not as entertaining, feels a little more authentic. But its really not a contest.
The Woods's's (who just lost) are all 2.0 as eff at myspace.com/woodsfamilyband.
The Skygreen Leopards are pwning it to def at myspace.com/skygreenleopards, as well as streaming a free roxorz mp3 of "Dixie Cups In The Dead Grass"
