Check Out EULA

August 11th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in live shows, live this week, mp3s, photos

EULA at Matchless

We first caught EULA at Matchless back in February, where they put on a great show, offering up a dynamic sound full of energy and the sort of female-led, rhythmic post-punk that calls to mind Delta 5 and their contemporaries — which is always welcome by us. We enjoyed it so much we invited them to play one of our shows at Fort Useless, back in April, where they impressed us once again.

We’ve heard plenty of post-rock outfits that have struggled to capture their live energy in recordings, but with their excellent six song EP from 2009, Language Of Threat, this power-trio translate their kinetic stage presence in a strikingly precise manner, leaving us happy to learn they’ve been working on a new album we hope to hear soon.

The band may be based in Connecticut, but they play in NYC/Brooklyn enough that they might as well be local. And your next chance to catch them here is tomorrow night at  Union Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where they’ll be playing with the Mess Around and the Hounds Below.

Here’s a track from the EP for your pleasure, along with a few photos from that long-ago Matchless show (with more available on Flickr):

Review: The Naked Hearts – Mass Hysteria

June 1st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in mp3s, releases, reviews

With a title that implies musical dissonance, the Naked Hearts‘ new album, Mass Hysteria, is really anything but. Amy Cooper (guitar) and Noah Wheeler (bass, drums) take turns singing lead and, along with occasional boy/girl interplay, they each own their respective songs with a healthy mix of downheartedness and adoration. Wheeler’s special sense of urgency and Cooper’s seductive melodies make it easy to fall headfirst in love with each three-or-so minute song, making Mass Hysteria a pretty near perfect experiment in pop music.

With the opening track, “Like I Do” — “No one/ No one/ No one likes you like me — the duo flirt with a Blake Babies-inspired sound. Cooper continues to lead the listener on with her pretty Suzanne Vega-esque pitch in “Call Me”: “First Light On Your Hair So Pretty/Walls White Fall Behind You Into The Ground”. Other stand out tracks like “Grow” and the title track, “Mass Hysteria,” may have simple names and uniquely catchy chords but they all manage to strike at the heart strings in a way not every tightly-crafted pop song is capable of accomplishing.

Even though it seems to be an exercise in the unrequited, this new record by the Naked Hearts – of what we consider love songs — left us with a full heart and a happy glint in our eyes.

Here are a couple of tracks from the album:
