What do you get when you take layered guitar, rich harmony, add a dash of horns, toss it in a blender and let it marinate all winter? something akin to
The M's, another Chicago style treat. These guys have a distinctly laid back, yet varied approach to songwriting, with titles like "Get Your Shit Together" sounding vaguely like Ziggy Stardust meets The Rolling Stones, coexisting with tracks like "Big Sound," which sound more like today's indie groove. The new album,
Real Close Ones (
Polyvinyl Records) drops on June 17th. -
