Saturday 04.19.08: BODIES OF WATER / ELF POWER / FLOWERS FOREVER
Posted by admin - filed in Events
Los Angeles’ Bodies of Water pummels past many more obvious/awesome points of comparison during the course of this preachtastic album– their reverent throat-throng approach evokes a Monotheistic Spree, their anthemic exponential subchoruses harken back to that first New Pornographers record, and their rousing, art-pop-rock-alyptic ambition suggests an Arcade Fire sparked by a burning bush. And after you accept the wall of vocals into your heart, you’ve still got to deal with arrangements equal parts Ennio Morricone, Godspell, classic punk, and Ben-Hur soundtrack. Pretty much relentless, this stuff, helped along in tone by a sleeve photo of a celebrant accidentally busting someone in the face while throwing out a joyous arm. – Pitchfork
