MP3: Logcabin - Places
One would imagine that my recent break in posting would have me rested, refreshed and ready with to kick off 2007 with a bang, but no, sadly that is not the case. Truth is, I've run myself ragged these past few weeks, working harder than ever - not just on the new site, but also with my many other jobs which I mistakenly thought might cool down during the holidays. Throw in an unexpected visit from the mother-in-law and well, let's just say I'm beat. Now, that doesn't mean I won't continue on as always, it just means I'm going to ease back into things. Enough of my excuses, right? How about some new music?
Jezebel Recordings quietly released a new album from Swedish trio Logcabin and I'm guessing there's a pretty good chance you missed it. Shit, I almost did myself even though I had a stack of the CDs sitting on my desk. Such is the nature of December, I suppose. Regardless, now is the time to make right so I've got a song for you. I love the insistent lead guitar and the way the chord changes float along behind it. Wrap it up with some horn stabs straight out of later-era Die Kreuzen and you've got yourself quite a nice little noiserock package. It's those little unexpected twists and turns that make Logcabin so interesting. They effortlessly drift from dreamy pop to discordant art-rock and back again, often within the same song. Or they keep it short and precise, like on today's track. Either way, it's all good.
