The Aquarium
I listened to snippets of this album before
downloading it, and thought it sounded pretty cool with its
crazy Moogs and cymbal-heavy drumming. I always find duos fascinating,
as it's amazing to me that one can build out a full sound with
only two people. They do manage to pull it off without sounding
in the least bit like The White
Stripes, Quasi or Mates
of State. Okay, maybe a tad like the last two. But their
sound is all together different really. It's actually a sound
I can't put my finger on. They do sound a little but like The
Apes, but much less dark and spooky. Their sound is kind
of retro in a rockin' kind of way. What I didn't know is that
a lot of the album is instrumental, which is generally okay,
but isn't really my thing. If I'm paying for an album, I want
somebody somewhere to go through the effort to write some damn
lyrics! |
