KHP's Artist of the Week

Massive Attack

Going a little trip-hop on you guys. Trip-hop is basically a genre of music that is chill and ambient. It's considered dance music, but the beats are typically slow. The whole trip-hop scene was basically spearheaded by these guys. Oh, and little known fact, their song 'Teardrop' is featured as the opening song for House. And 'Angel' is also in the opening credits for Harrison Ford's film Firewall. Trip-hop may seem odd to a few, but once you get into Massive Attack, you are hooked.

Yeah trust me I knew the song before I started to watch House (which was only a few weeks ago). Teardrop, with or without vocals, I find is amazing.

 

Oh wow. I've been looking for this song (teardrop) for ages.
This song takes me back way far when it first came out. Something about a baby in a womb and it's singing... Well the clip doesn't matter too much, it's really about how it sounds. Vocals are amazing in their songs, sending chills up my spine yet I must listen to it still.

 

Local Natives

Local natives are a fairly new band, with their debut "Gorilla Manor" hitting US shelves just back in February of this year. They are considered indie/afro-pop, and are often compared to Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend.

Local Natives are one of the bands I enjoy listening to when I'm in the mood for them. Perhaps during a cold lonely day or a chilled out Sunday afternoon I'd start listening to them continuously but lately, that hasn't been the case.

Keep 'em coming =]

 

Two Door Cinema Club

TDCC is an electronic indie band from Northern Ireland. They have one album out, Tourist History, which was released in May of this year.

Thanks to everyone *cough*Toph and Libertine especially*cough* for the input, it really is appreciated.

 

i've listened to the music but didn't find it all that great or worth posting about.

 

i listen to stuff like Breaking Benjamin, Skillet, Sick Puppies and Hollywood Undead. show something similar to them and i'd find it worth posting about

 

Alright I'll try to keep that in mind. I think I have something similar to Breaking Benjamin I can whip out for this week

 

What's shakin' here? Two Door Cinema club. I'm digging this one. Catchy beat with synchronising lyrics. It's sounding a bit similar to things I dislike, but I've found myself liking this one.

 

I meant to do this Saturday morning before I left for vacation, but I woke up late and didn't have time, so I'll do one tonight and one tomorrow.

The Used

Quite different from what I would usually post in here. The Used is an emo alternative band hailing from Utah. They have numerous albums out, most recently being Artwork.
