D.A. (EP OUT NOW!! )

About Me

************************************************************ ** “Thank God for Aluminum,” the debut EP by local band the D.A., is a true revelation.The quintet has been around in various formations for three years, but only recently have they congealed and stepped things up with regular shows. The four-song disc, recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios with producer Manuel Calderon, shows a band on the cusp of something great. The tracks represent a fine sampling of the D.A.’s weird amalgam of indie rock and New Wave. The danceable “big woman” chugs with propulsive energy in a forward-moving battle between trumpet and drums. “Halfwords Mix,” with its chorus about “bad dreams and dirty sheets,” twangs with Modest Mouse-like melancholy. The remaining songs, the scrappy “Orange and Black” and the busy, pretty “Pheromones,” showcase the band’s well-crafted balance of shimmering synths, squiggling guitars and the occasional, cathartic vocal bark. The EP, so named because recycling cans paid for most of the recording expenses, is that rare entry from a local band with a towering original vision and the talent enough to meet it." - What's Up Magazine ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******" They've got a great sound, and great lyrics that give the sonic landscapes they create some substance. They just got done with a midwest tour. They recorded their newest E.P. at a little place called the Sonic Ranch. When I say little I'm joking, because it's probably the largest recording complex in the United States. The lucky bastards were able to record on the same Neve console that Motown records and later, Madonna used. Check out their E.P! It's a pretty awesome Post Punk/Dance Rock record, and I haven't stopped listening to it." - www.robotdancemusic.com ************************************************************ *
