Let the Summer of Sound Team Begin
NPRLet the Summer of Sound Team Begin Friday's Pick Song: Born to Please Artist: Sound Team CD: Movie Monster Genre: Rock Every summer has that album: one that defines the season while hearkening back to the mysteries and epiphanies of summers past. toggle caption Like fellow Texas bands Spoon, Voxtrot and And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Sound Team possesses a do-it-yourself ethos that has helped transform run-of-the-mill indie-rock into a meatier, more inventive and experimental genre. Sound Teams self-released debut EP, Work, won the affection of many critics last year, and a full-length big-label follow-up has attracted anxious anticipation from fans who fear a shift to a more commercial sound. Though producer Mike McCarthy polishes up the bands fuzzy rough edges, the forthcoming Movie Monster sounds both danceable and dark, with sharp melodies residing amid layers of atypical arrangements -- each song a little sonic collage.
