Then vs. The Brian Jonestown Massacre

0 Posted by - November 23, 2011 - Familiar Sounds

In this post-modern age, you’d think bands would know better to engage in the search engine gaffes that no doubt plague such blameless acts as The Who, The Band and The The to this very day by picking such ungoogleable names as…. Then.

 

Admirably unwilling to bend to the demands of publicity, this Macedonian-Catalan (! wtf !) duo are responsible for Happy  Cloud – a wonderful EP that I am happy to help spruik by leading you to their last.fm profile  from where you can nick the tracks for the princely sum of $0. Also helping them/Then out is the remarkable similarity their song ‘Oblivion 2’ shares with the Brian Jonestown Massacre’s ‘Wisdom’.

 

I can’t point out precisely what makes the two songs sound alike, but even if I’m imagining this, the mishmash still makes for a lovely listen.
