all other new music mostly is a pile of crap but from time to time I discover new stuff on emusic.
Sounds Like: sounds like cack or some say: from demo universe ""Artful, intelligent, richly textured indie-rock from this Hoboken, New Jersey-based band led by singer-guitarist Dave Urbano, late of emo heroes Aviso'Hara (in which he played bass) and the aggro-art ensemble Suran Song In Stag. The softer bits of Smashing Pumpkins can be heard in Analog.Living's Beatlesque progressions and measured tempos and Urbano's veiled vocals, while moments of spiny dissonance and stuttering beats bring to mind Shudder To Think, the Slow Wire is neither as melodramatic nor as mathematic as those comparisons might suggest. Dave and company maintain a careful balance between introversion and extroversion, urban cool and suburban emotion, never letting melody fall behind in the pursuit of new edges. The result may not always be as thrilling as the fiery title track but Analog.Living never fails to entertain." -Jim Santos
