I Am Bones
Label: MorningsideGenre: Pop, Rock
After featuring Under Byen last month, the good folks at Morningside Records kindly left a handful of suggestions in the comments. Their roster balances between two forces of pop music: dreamy and power. I Am Bones does the power pop thing, along the lines of Figurines. I find it interesting that these two fine Danish bands draw heavily from the American indie rock sound from the 90s at a time when so many contemporary American bands lean towards the heady, arena-sized sound of Radiohead. I'm not afraid to admit my bias. Usually when I drop needle to groove, or hit play, or insert my ear-buds, I want to sing-along (dig the chorus to "The Ostrich Approach:" "I'll hook you up / with alcohol and valium..."), jump around, get the endorphins flowing...I don't want to think about music, I just want to move to it. I Am Bones will certainly get you shaking your own skeleton. If I might point out one song in particular here, "Oktoberfest Vs. Morrissey" would make a great addition to your Thanksgiving mix tape. ONLY if you're a loud and proud meat lover. Vegans beware. May I suggest a subtitle? "Turkey Vs. Tofurkey."
