Song of the Day - June 7, 2006

Young People continue to create interesting music with their latest release All at Once. The band has been condensed down to two members with the departure of Jeffrey Rosenberg. Their unique sound has been labeled slow-fi, combining elements of Americana with sparse but beautiful instrumentation, often making more of the spaces between the notes then the notes themselves. "Dark Rainbow" is an ominous tune that makes the most of Katie Eastburn's lonesome vocals. The drums beat with a heart-like consistency and the guitars have that tasty twang of reverb. The atmospheric feelings generated by this song are intense and wonderful music is the result. Click here to listen.
