If you like brooding indie pop tunes exploring the angst of maturing, or just a groovy breed of alternative meloncholy, then this band might be for you. The album is produced by
Chris Zane, whose more notable projects include
Asobi Seksu and
Les Savy Fav. Cool credentials, and appropriately so; this is a sound people can get into.
Bridges and Powerlines, at only a few years old (the band formed in 2005), have created an album that is both pop-friendly and exploratory. Their debut full length, entitled
Ghost Types, dropped at the end of last month. The songwriting is solid, and vocalist
Andrew Wood almost sounds like a New York version of
Colin Meloy. Maybe if Colin was the frontman for
The Old 97's. Pick up the record, or if you live in New York, check out an upcoming show. -
