OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VII ["And his hair was perfect"]

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Not gonna lie, that vocalist sounds a lot like Morrissey.

That first video sounds like the Smiths too lol. And I know the Smiths! The second one I hear more New Order. Like it's pretty obvious they're riffing on that era though.

It really doesn't sound like them. It sounds like New Order and a few other synth bands, but not the Smiths. It sounds like the Cure if anything.

It's his vocals really, less so the music. But that first video that Sandywhich linked sounds like Marr-type arpeggios, and I totally hear him trying to do Morrissey. Maybe it's just a one off and the rest of their stuff isn't that. In the video you linked, I hear like a weird Morrissey-Bernard Sumner hybrid, so I get New Order vibes too. Like I said, I think they're influenced by all of them.

I'm glad nobody is posting the House Martins on here....something I really can't stand.

I don't hear Morrissey and The Smiths with that band...I do with the one we were talking about a page or two ago, Nation of Language.

most of my department now has this damn song stuck in our heads...

The funny thing was some dipshit saying it sounds like the Smiths - it sounds nothing like the Smiths lolz. It's like I told you that one time - people who have no f***ing idea what they are talking about reference the Smiths for damn near everything to try and look cool. It's the third time I've seen someone do it (incorrectly) in the last week or so.

Vocally, the beginning of "Tell Me" sounds vocally like the start of one-hit wonder Kon Kan's I Beg Your Pardon. Instrumentation is obviously totally different but vocally it's incredibly similar.

I linked from the start of the vocals:

This is so far my album of the year, I think. We got a lot left to go but it's damn good.

 

[Appleyard]

Psychedelic 1970s Turkish Rock... so good.

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

Maybe the best cover of a Floyd song, ever? Good stuff...and a Canadian band to boooot

[Captain Dave Poulin]

That is ridiculously smooth.

 

[Rebels57]

Nation of Language throws a new wave dance party at World Cafe Live - The Key

 

[Rebels57]

That is ridiculously smooth.

That entire album rules..my favorite of his by far
