Sholi & Mi Ami
What are the odds of Quarterstick (Touch and Go) signing not one, but two San Francisco-based avant-rock trios? Must’ve been pretty good, because that’s exactly what they did, and releases from both bands will be out next week.
Sholi – “All That We Can See”Sholi, who I think of as “the band whose cover depicts an exploding garbage can (albeit a pretty multicolored one),” debuts with a self-titled disc chock full of ambitious avant/indie rock tunes. I say “ambitious” because, well, just listen to this track, but remind yourself that’s only 3 guys.
Mi Ami – “New Guitar” And space-Noiseniks Mi Ami grace us with their new disc, Watersports, next week. Their cover art doens’t inspire that same “oooh-look-at-da-pretty-colors” reaction, but rather something more along the lines of “oooh-look-at-da-Vegas-showgirl’s-backside.”
No Responses.
