The Blow

As with many a band, I'm sort of behind on The Blow, at least on their/her new album Paper Television. The Blow is featured on K Records, which is based out of the (very local for me) Olympia. It's headed up by Calvin Johnson who's got quite the ear for music. I want to make an entire post on Krecs but I'm too lazy right now. I've been in to The Blow before now, but I felt the music was lacking a little, regardless of creativity. With new electronic beats and crazy bleeps and bloops, the Blow's got what I thought was missing, thanks to YACHT's Jona Bechtolt. The cd is the Knife meets Mirah/the creativity of anything popping out of Olympia. It's genius, really. I'm waiting for warm summer days to play this in the car. And oh yeah, their promo pics are great.
