Dappled Cities: Granddance

Dappled Cities: Granddance

Formerly known as 'Dappled Cities Fly', this Australian band is currently touring the US with Tokyo Police Club. I went to see TPC at Birdie's recently, and was blown away by Dappled Cities. Unpretentious, appreciative, and just flat out playing their asses off, these guys sounded great so I bought their cd after the set. Hoping it would be even a little bit as good as the live show, I was thrilled to find the cd sounds terrific from start to finish. I don't know how easy this will be to find, but I'm sure Luna (the best cd store in Indy) can find it for you if you don't use ITunes.

Pitchfork Review:

"Dappled Cities are a mature band with a highly evolved sense of songcraft and arrangement. Aside from merely writing them, they know how to inhabit songs and make them breathe. It's that quality elevates Granddance beyond being simply good and makes it occasionally border on great."
