Laika

Label: Too Pure
Genre: Electronic

I'm taking the lazy way out today. But it's a damn fine band, so that shouldn't really matter. I spent the weekend in Waveland, Mississippi, helping with the relief effort there after Hurricane Katrina. Having seen the devastation in person, it's still unbelieveable to me. So today's offering of Laika provides both comfort and ease, two attributes that actually apply to the music itself. Margaret Fiedler and Guy Fixsen have been creating quite complicated music that somehow sounds so purposeful and, well, comfortable with an almost arrogant air of ease. "Sugar Daddy" and "Uneasy" are two of my personal faves.
