Continuing the subject of new musical releases (and one that I thought deserved it's own post), I just found out last night that one of my favorite bands, Dredg, just released(May 2011)a follow-up to their epic 2009 CD, "The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion." If you can't tell by the CD title, 'art rock' is just the tiniest of stepping stones by which they dive into the ocean of musical experimentation.
I'm listening to the CD for the first time right now and at Track 4 I'm already liking it. It definitely 'grooves' more than some of their previous material, if that makes any sense. Although many are accusing this of being more of a pop or commercial effort, I disagree. They are working with a new producer, which comes through in the flavor of the songs. And although it does contain more of a contemporary song structure, much akin to Catch Without Arms, it is still a strong creative effort and much more artistic than anything else in the current generation of music.
Anywho, it's available on Amazon.com for $2.99, so please support a group of true artists and DL this one now. You can hardly lose--it'll probably cost you more than that to drive to work today. And if you at all like what you hear, I strongly urge you to sift through their back catalog, especially El Cielo--one of the best concept musical pieces ever composed, IMO.
