Dan Deacon is Like Sunshine for my Ears and Tiga Makes Me Want To Dance

I remember the first time I heard Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. It was a revelation. I didn't know music could sound this way. Now, I'm not saying the Bromst, sounds like Loveless, beyond the 5 million layers it takes to make this kind of aural burnout riot. Bromst is like Loveless for nerds. Except nerds are cool now. And Bromst, is for lack of a better word, happy. It's like the bastard child of Kevin Shields, Smurfs, an 808, and sunbeams. It makes me feel like I'm mining secret treasure, have a pocket full of pixie dust and might need to have pancakes for dinner.

This Tiga record, Ciao!, albeit not as revelatory as the aforementioned, has still got more peaks than valleys. More of a straight up 'club' record than Sexor, it's a lot of fun. He's such a cheeky punk you're not sure if you want to slap him or pinch his cheek. The answer, shake your booty. Highlights: What You Need, Overtime, Beep-Beep-Beep. Lowlights: Turn The Night On, Gentle Giant.

It does make me wish for a new Scissor Sisters record and light a little fire to track down the new Fischerspooner. Which seems to be oddly black listed within my group...I wonder if it has anything to do with...I'll save my gossip for another time.
