Mary Timony Band - The Shapes We Make
Posted August 29th, 2007 by aidan
At the outset this felt like typical female fronted pop-rock, the more I listened the more I realised that there's actually some really interesting work going on here. Second listen and I'm finding myself rather intrigued.
Kind of punky. It would be easy to drop the PJ Harvey label on this because of the rawness that comes through - it doesn't really sound like PJ Harvey (well, Pause/Off does a bit). Killed By The Telephone has interesting almost found sounding patterns towards the end.
You know what, this is almost prog. They use those classic keyboards and the vocals have an 80s Debbie Harry vibe.
That's it, prog it is.
