SOME WICKED: Dashiell Brown's Blog

diableros

Two years ago, The Diableros (from Toronto) came out with their fantastic debut album, You Can’t Break the Strings in our Olympic Hearts, and NOW Magazine called it one of the best of the year. Now they have a new album, Aren’t Ready for the Country, though maybe not as strong as their first, which demonstrates they still have some tricks up their sleeve. Apparently they formed their band in order to do a tribute to Jesus & Mary Chain. Their sound is like a cross between The Walkmen and Interpol, where singer Pete Carmichael takes the time to explore each song and give attention to it. These are not fast, tight pop songs, but rather loose and soulful; they are in clearly no rush to go anywhere. Listen to “Turning Backwards” to get an idea of what I mean (Track 5 on the player. Click Listen on the link for Aren’t Ready for the Country.)  Also listen to Nothing Down in Hogtown.

And a reminder, Tune into The New Spin tonight!
