Genre: Indie
Lot's of bass and percussion. Electronics tastefully layered in. The vocal is an elegant, deep toned female voice. This duo (Jennifer Moore and Adam Jones, from Austin, Texas) just sounds cool; perhaps a little outside of the world most of us live in. Whether it's above or below is not always clear.
The eponymous album is the duo's debut (sort of. They performed as Yellow Fever the previous four years, until they got sued because someone else already had rights to the name.) In any event they never got much notice beyond the local scene in Austin; which is no feint praise.My favorite song on the album is Clouds. Bermuda Triangle is a great example of the minimalist vibe they can use. (Click the song titles to hear the songs via youtube.)
The album didn't make it into the top 10, but it made it to the top 15. And even making on the list is an endorsement. So far this year I've read over a thousand reviews, listened to nearly 200 albums and bought about 50. I definitely recommend giving these guys a listen.
