Hype
I was playing pieces of my new Mutual Admiration Society album last night (and today at work), the only Mutual Admiration Society album, aptly titled Mutual Admiration Society.
Speaking somewhat flippantly, I commented that their music embodies a little piece of everything I’ve ever liked about music. That’s not quite accurate, but the music is very good. It’s actually the ex-lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket (“Walk on the Ocean,” “Whatever I Fear,” “Come Back Down”) and the backup vocals and instrumentation of Nickel Creek.
As one may be able to tell, I have also taken a shine to the Ataris, who were featured in my Point-Counterpoint posting from last night. I seem to find one punkish band a year to like.
