Back with Ice Cream

Hey Guys, I don't know if anyone is paying attention to this blog anymore, but I feel like updating again, not gonna bore you with why I've been gone, no reason to.

Heres a very quirky band with an incredibly different sound.  Very original and strange, I love these guys.

If you Like it, try Atlas, another of theirs.

The American Dollar

The American Dollar’s tracks are unbelievably varied and addictive. With so many releases and no vocals to boot, you’d expect there to be some similarity, the same approach or re-used synth-lines, but not with these guys.  Drum solos, gazing guitars, melodic piano’s and glitchy electronic backgrounds make up a stunning discography and set each album apart from the last. Similarities lie with Hammock and Klimt and other post-rock/ambient producers, but I’m finding new and interesting sounds in nearly every other album.

aKido

My first thoughts upon hearing Akido’s Gamechanger, was how fresh it sounded. Still, I can’t quite pitch it up against anything similar. It’s electronica, with percussion as sharp as an electronic Caribou, chord changes as addictive as Gold Panda, the playfulness of Hess Is More and Moderat’s heavy rolling dub-step. And to top it off, aKido emits an accessible sound across them all, which will appeal to plenty.

If you listen and think I’m totally off the mark, I probably am. There’s quite a few elements going into these tracks, all of which creep in and out as you would expect from such a varied, yet honed and well produced electronica album.

The upbeat pings and weaving voices of Turnaround, the playful popness of Radium Girls, the looped vocals in Epoch (Get High), the atmospheric dubstep grooves of Carrousel, and gentle guitar & synth combo of title track, Gamechanger. There’s something in here for everyone.
