New Akron/Family Song, “Silly Bear”
Posted: January 18th, 2010 | Author: Nathan | Filed under: Articles About Music | Tags: akron/family, bishop allen, camera obscura, noah and the whale | 1 Comment »They Shoot Music is Viennese videoblog that features musical artists who can “be vaguely described by the blurred out term indie.” Over the past several years they have shot and posted tons of great sessions with tons of great indie artists, Bishop Allen, Camera Obscure, and Noah & the Whale, just to name a few. Just recently they posted a session that they recorded back in November with Akron/Family at a Turkish cafe and confectionery. They played two songs for the crew, the first being “Crickets” off of their 2007 release, Love Is Simple. And the second, the reason for this post, is an unreleased song called “Silly Bear.” If your weren’t convinced that these guys were worth your attention by Brady’s inclusion of Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free in his Top 10, then watch this video. One of the most interesting folk bands in the biz. Check this out.
Music is a highly opinionated interest, sometimes I find really interesting stuff, sometimes I think you point to some utterly non interesting folk (mind you, there is folk I like)… this is one of those times where I’ll pass, and wonder wtf are you thinking?
