Genre-Bending
Is it weird that most of the music I listen to today comes off Myspace? The sepiachord community posts some good links to Myspace music pages everyday. Here's their profile description:
"Sepiachord is the 'genre that doesn't exist'.
"It is to music what 'steampunk' is to literature and cinema: something that looks back to the past to comment on the present while looking sideways at the future. A cubist aural experience.
As goth & glam are the bastards of David Bowie, Sepiachord is made from the genetic material sown by Tom Waits.
"Sepiachord is assembled like a clockwork orchestra, from such elements of music as:
Sinister Circus
Cabaret Macabre
Chamber Pop
Organic Goth
Celtic/Gypsy Punk
Mutant American
Ghost Town Country
"It is the music our grandparents or great-grandparents would have listened to, if they were as off-set as we are."
Last night they had a link to a band called Strawfoot, whose music is described as "Gothic Americana Country", and it's WONDERFUL! Refinement versus the primal has always been my call, so this band has me rockin'! I first heard it while eating a blueberry scone, and now I can't get Silver Dollar City outta my head.
