Solace for the post-election blues

Just what the fuck is wrong with this country?

But this blog is about music, so here are 2 songs to cheer the dispirited:

- Bloc Party - New indie Brit pop, don't even have full-length out yet. Sounds like Robert Smith singing. Check out Banquet, free for download at Insound.com here. Read about them here.

- Prosaics - If you like Interpol, My Bloody Valentine, and Joy Division. Read about them here, download great song Teeth from Insound.com here. Once again no full-length yet.

Well, first I was lazy and lifted those band comparisons for the Prosaics from the Insound blurb that I provided a link to. Second, it says that the Prosaics are for people who like MBV, Interpol, et al - not that they sound identical. However, I respectfully disagree with you re: similarity to MBV. Not so much late MBV but earlier stuff - Isn't Anything, various EPs, etc from the mid to late 80's. Compare the thrashy, repetitive section that starts off teeth and recurs several times during the song to similar passages to several songs from Isn't Anything.
