The best band you’ve never heard of….
self-titled album
These tracks are from a band out of LA. They're called Meho Plaza and they're self-titled debut is one of the best albums of last year. The first song is called "Your Future Looks Bright." The second track is called "Let's Play Police Tonight." I expect big things from this band. The calling card on their album is mixing great and simple melodies with some ugly and brutish samples. Other album highlights include "The Beach", "George Washington", and "I Sold My Organs." I'm surprised this band is getting more press.
Speaking of LA bands, I have to say that some of the best music these days is coming out of LA--Meho Plaza, Low vs. Diamond, Autolux, the Airborne Toxic Event, and Mellowdrone. LA may be supplanting New York as my favorite music scene.
