Song of the Day - May 05, 2005

I suppose it is only appropriate that a band called the Great Depression has a melancholy sound. The song "There, There" builds slowly starting simply with keyboards, and eventually adds layers of guitars, vocals, and drums in a swirling of sound, which reminds me somewhat of The Smashing Pumpkins. Just as a slowly moving weather front proceeds to sneak up on us, the Great Depression music evolves to the point that it suddenly surprises us, as it whirls around our ears with lush atmospheric layers of sound.
