Song of the Day - October 28, 2005

Belgium is known for its exquisite chocolate and excellent beer. Soon Belgium will be known for the Girls in Hawaii. Their music slowly grows on you and is definitely in the slowcore genre. Just like a good box of chocolates, it's difficult to pick just one song from their album From Here to There. At times I feel their music is a cross of CSN and Nirvana, especially on the track "Flavor." The music starts out slowly with some nice harmonies, only to erupt in a riot of sounds. I would compare it to eating a beautiful Belgian chocolate, first savoring the bittersweet chocolate coating, only to be surprised by the burst of flavor within. Click here to listen.
