Normally I would post this in my music blog but I already posted today's blog post so why not post it here?
Last night I went to the Day Block Brewing company over on Washington Avenue for to see a couple of local bands UZZA (which is pronounced "ah-zuh") and Autumn. It was a great show. Hung out with some great people, had a few drinks (beer and gin and tonic do not go hand and hand), and saw some great live music. The room was really packed for UZZA but by the time Autumn went on the room totally cleared out which irritated me a bit. I found it disrespectful. I was talking to a friend last night at the end of the night and how underrated the band is which inspired today's post. Since I have a couple of blogs, I thought I would take the time to give them some free publicity. After all the band has been around for 20 years. They deserve some credit and respect, and if this is what it takes to give them some exposure, so be it.
I have been a fan of Autumn since 2009 at their final show at the time for Faith and The Muse. That was the very first time I had heard of the band and their wonderful music. At the time I had heard nothing like their music in my own little corner of the world. The band reminded me of Cocteau Twins and The Sundays but darker. After the concert, I had to scrounge around online for their music. I was able to find a cheap ass copy of their second album Return To The Breath. I definitely was not disappointed.
Unfortunately the band's first album is not so cheap online. I probably will still buy it eventually. I do like listening to CDs still despite the fact I stream a lot of music nowadays.
Both The Hating Tree and Return To The Breath are excellent darkwave albums. Right now The Hating Tree is my personal favorite of the two albums. "How It Came To Be This Way", "...of Moondrop Tears", and "Desert Winds of Jezebel" are my personal favorite tracks.
At the moment the band's plans are to continue working on new music which will be out next year and possibly tour during the summer according to their Facebook page. In the meantime, go listen to their music. Their music is awesome!
