From Amanda UnBoomed comes this tip off for her brother’s band, Murder Mystery, whose music is delightfully unassuming and unpretentious little nugget of guitar driven candy-coated pop. I found them to be a bit of a time warp that wraps together the sounds of the past several decades of music into a neat little package.
Some quick thoughts about the four free tracks on their website:
- Honey Come Home could be classified as jangle but the guitars are less bright being more focused on a low-key crunch.
- In A Sentimental Mood is a mid-tempo pop number that possesses a sheen of Northwest post-punk-Sixties-pop revival.
- Think of Me is a soft foot stomper that has a touch of country shuffle with its slightly twangy guitar lick.
- Who Doesn’t Want To Give Me Love? Glossed over with an early 80’s British Pop feel.
It is the sort of music perfect for whiling away the time on a lazy weekend or sing along to on a drive to the beach. Give it a shot.
The links no longer work, I grab these tracks last week, and there great; as I was listening I went looking for some more info and it looks like their web page has expired. They may have changed their name since last week, after discovering there is a indie jam band with the same name and another one from Norway.
Hmmm…. Curious. Could be that they went way over their bandwidth allotment as Amanda’s site is heavily trafficked. I’ll see if I can find out more…
