I really can't tell you very much about the Mitchells. I got their CD 'Contraption' without
any information, but after only having listened once to it, it was already one of my favourite
CDs. The opener 'Snowday' is a perfect example for a great Lo-Fi sound, inspired by bands like
Guided by Voices. Simple melodies and song structures, but pleasant to be listened to. Cool
bass hooks, relax vocals and slightly noisy guitars seem to be the secret of the success. Some
songs like 'Giddy' are slower songs and may be classified as Post Rock. The album from this
band from Boston has already been released in 1999. Although it isn't so new anymore, it's still
tasting fresh and suitable for everyone who likes alternative stuff like Lo-Fi, Noise, Emo or
Post Rock. Although the last track 'The Switch' has a every experimenting and annoying ending,
this doesn't have a too big effect on my general impression about this CD. More information can be obtained on The Mitchell's homepage. |
