The Apples In Stereo

They're a Denver based band, and formed in 1993 (or so Myspace says (sub parenthesis: I know, I need better sources)).

They're self-described "sunny rock" and indie. Which I have no complaints over. Thats pretty right on. Of what I've heard so far, they're sort of real life background music. Repetitive and what I would call "floaty." Its a lot like Explosions in the Sky, only less musical and with words.

I suggest 'Her Pretty Face,' which I've just noticed has the genre title - porn groove. Okay, I could see that. It could make it as a sexy song I suppose. I don't watch enough porn to recognize it though...

And I literally just heard 'Strawberry Fire,' in fact, its still playing. And I love it. Its very lyrically strong. And now as it plays, nice weird-sounding guitar at the end. Take a listen my friends.

And now I'm hearing 7 Stars! I should really hear all the tracks before blogging it... oh well, this is more exciting, right?! This is a clearer, more vocally-strong song. I'm liking Robert Schneider versatile voice. it sounds a bit different every time.

Over all I'm giving them a 7 out of 10.
Cute, funky sound, easy listen, like some very cool elevator music, something that would make the sound track of my memoir film.

Check them out, what do you think?

I need to find some non-indie music, I know. I think I'll be doing some Latin music next. I have a Shakira weakness (you know you love her too).

Peace.
