Every now and again you make a discovery which leaves you feeling downright proud of yourself and it gives you hope in knowing that "finding a diamond in the rough" is not just a saying. So here is how it happened, it was way past midnight and I could not bring myself to fall asleep when I decided to check my emails (an act which was neglected for a couple of days because I was camping at a music festival). Through this medium of communication I was approached by Sam, the bass player for a five piece band MiniBoone, to write something about them, as I have mentioned in previous posts this often happens and does not amount to much but boy oh boy was I surprised when I downloaded their EP and was transported to a musical islands where everything was pretty and everything just made sense. I just love it when the little guys can actually teach the age old industry players a trick or two and that is exactly the case with MiniBoone. Before I get to their latest EP "Big Changes", check out this fantastical music video for the song "Cool Kids Cut Out of the Heart Itself".

{See I told you it is Awesome}

MiniBoone really caught me off guard with their catchy melodic indie party tunes. The EP "Big Changes" manages to build momentum and role with that right through the album. The music is hard to compare and classify but I picked up influences ranging from bands like Cake to The Features to Arcade Fire and even the British Band Dirty Pretty Things. The song which is also the debut music video "Cool Kids Cut Out of the Heart Itself" is a real hit, with an ecstatic combination of vocals and instruments which proves to be more catchy than the whole Vampire craze. The track "Devil in your Eyes" starts off sounding like something which Arcade Fire would do but after a few seconds of listening, it is clear that this is not Arcade Fire but rather pure MiniBoone which can be characterized by their harmonizations, keyboard and drums. This band is really something else and I cannot help but smile when I hear their music! The weird thing on this album is the inconsistency in the vocals (which is not a bad thing) what I mean by this is that the vocals sound very different from one song to the next which keeps the album fresh and entertaining from the beginning right to the end. I am going to try and get in contact with Sam to try and get an interview! Now go out their and buy one of the coolest albums to grace this site and the interweb in general!

"Indie kids beware, this album is so hot, you will have to clean the steam off your clear thick framed non prescription glasses!"
