DOWNLOAD: The Satin Peaches - Still Sour + Emma
Last night I had a discussion about the band Deerhunter, and how they've pretty much become the most fully realized nu-shoegaze indie band. They have their own manic sense of creativity, but essentially they're a band that derives from listening to a lot of other bands (like Stereolab and Slowdive) and writing songs that they (really one dude) want to kind of sound like those bands. And that's awesome. A lot of great bands have done that. The four young guys in Detroit's The Satin Peaches also wear their discographies on their sleeves, working a sound that's composed of bits and pieces from modern indie rock from the last two decades or so. "Still Sour" sounds exactly like the Smashing Pumpkins re-writing the verses from The Strokes' "Modern Age" and then doing their own chorus, while "Emma" is more like the post-Britpop guitar groups like The Futureheads or Amusement Parks On Fire if they'd been young enough to have parents into the Kinks. The UK press had nice things to say when they visited late last year, now they're up here on RCRD LBL. Get into both of the aforementioned tunes below.
