Up Next: Ex Cops
Influences like My Bloody Valentine, The Beach Boys and Death Cab For Cutie (yep, Ben Gibbard will save us all) come around every decade or so. I think I’ve stumbled on a band that borrows from each basket. Throw in producer John Siket (Blonde Redhead, Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth) and a label thats owned by a record store (Other Music) and you’re almost there. Brian Harding (ex-Hymns) and Amalie Bruun (ex-Minks) lead the washy guitars, layered percussion and harmonization on a well-timed record by Brooklynites Ex Cops. If they roll up to the Troubadour with Bleached in this, they’ll make my top ten albums of the year list by default.
