American Football – American Football

I would give these guys the math rock two thumbs up. Their guitarist floats them through every song with a passion for enveloping the listener in the never ending loops of the mathematics that take over the songwriting. The singer is a slight let down. With so much passion and intensity in the cycling of the guitar, you don’t get much back up.

I found this CD to be behind my time, and I was surprised to find out that it was exactly that, behind my time. These guys were popular in the 90′s, and you can kind of see where that takes place in their musicality. They’re a great band to walk through a city to, their harmony is pretty and complacent, and you’ll find yourself following them along slowly.

Active Child – You Are All I See

Gorgeous, Gorgeous.

This is simply a good trip. This cd resonates with beauty, passion, and all the above. You can really tell that the singer came up in a singing environment. A little behind the scenes action, the guy grew up as a choir boy. You can really tell, and feel, that type of atmosphere.

The whole cd gets you going with odd feelings. It hits you in a quiet place, but blasts you into bouts of you singing in a falsetto. There is something incredibly interpersonal about the cyclical and emotional behavior of his music. It sounds like passion, or perhaps a creative spark that we all think we have, but he found and produced.
