I’ve been knee deep in Devendra Banhart’s What Will We Be this week (almost certainly my most foolishly overlooked album of 2010) but despite the cumbersome weight of it’s hispano-folk glory it’s had to share airtime with Team Me’s Team Me EP. Team Me fall somewhere in the overlap between Jonsi and Arcade Fire with, maybe, a little (read a lot) of Freelance Whales in there for good measure. I’m a sucker for the rising, swelling, crescendoing moments that Team Me are all about. It may not be the in-thing anymore but I refuse to change. Musical taste is moving forward more quickly than a Malaysian bound asylum seeker right now so if you want to keep up with trends you need to act fast. Really though, it doesn’t much matter. You don’t need to be referencing jazz drummers and blues stalwarts to be get to my coinpouch (no double entendre intended). Write a track that speaks to my aesthetic sensibilities and I’ll buy your record, no questions asked. Here are some tracks from one such record.
