Summer Lawns : Concrete and Wood mp3




Album: First We Waited...Then It Started

As soon as I heard Summer Lawns I knew there was something special about them. It didn't take me long to realize it was a special blend of Radiohead and Slowdive. The vocals are eerily similar to Thom Yorke of Radiohead and the overall vibe reminds me a little of Slowdive's Souvlaki.

I can't imagine fans of either Thom Yorke or Slowdive not appreciating Summer Lawns. In fact, if there's anyone out there in "Indieville" who was put-off by the constant quirkiness of Radiohead or occasionally boring atmospheric ambience of Slowdive, then Summer Lawns will inspire repeated spins on your cd player. It takes the best of both and builds a 9-song album that is easy to listen to in one sitting and neither gets too cheery or too depressing. Great stuff for early morning hangover or late-night drunken stupor listening. It's great music for sobriety too, because then you'll remember the name of that great band you heard last night...Summer Lawns. Hear more songs at their Myspace home www.myspace/summerlawns.
