new?

(i've been in love with that girl for what seems like forever)

I like it. Reminds me of Komeda and, like, Blossom Dearie or something....

Wow, haven't heard a Blossom Dearie reference in awhile.

new to me, and probably most people.

definitely _able

I want a grapefruit

I want a whole lot more than a grapefruit.

i only know what that means because my wife drinks seltzer water that described itself as pomplamouse flavor and I said "what the hell is a pomplamouse".

Anyway, that girl is really pretty but also looks like the older brother from Weeds so while I like the music I don't like how it makes me feel about myself. i'm going to check them out further anyway. reminds me of a little looser Hello Saferide. not loose in a slutty way, more like "loosey goosey" california way hey shut up.

it's fucking snowing here.

Totally loosey goosey.

just checked this out this morning, and my thoughts are as follows:

-she is absolutely adorable
-the songs are right up my ally
-I'm annoyed that the only way to get their music right now is via myspace download
-how are they getting this level of production and video as unsigned indies?

Checked out Hello Saferide based on this post. Been enjoying the songs on their MySpace.

man, i wish she'd put out a new album. she's awesome.

I must say the holiday Hyundai commercials they are in are annoying.

holy shit this thread exists

yeah i keep waiting for this thread to become ironic

how did this thread slip through the cracks.

Waiting?

Some damning evidence against some people right here.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday and was like, "whuuuut??"

I enjoy Pomplamoose, but that commercial made me feel angsty.

Someone should make an animated gif of this chick ala that paris hilton one where she's wearing different outfits but has the same expression.

What is that effect she uses on her vocals... autotune coupled with compression? Whatever it is, I want it banned from studio gear. It grates on my ears and that's on top of her stupid blank-stare "look" grating on my mind.

EDIT:


I see Shiv has noticed it too

i think the vocal effect is just the natural result of her layering lots of takes of the similar harmony lines. Though I could be wrong about that.
