Oberhofer - Emo’s, Austin TX - February 18, 2011


[from Brooklyn NY] sigh… I think I’ve had this epiphany before but I re-epiphanized tonight… I can recognize the genius in the music but that doesn’t change that it’s just not ‘my music’ and will never resonate with me like it probably does with todays’ youth – so I report to you as a numbed-adult observer –it’s that dreamy chime-y music that devolves into harder rock every now and again – very Dirty Projectors – a little Paul Simon – the guy had the strut of an avant garde thug but the music was mostly very pretty – Rockboy heard Vampire Weekend with 70s punk which is a pretty apt description.
