Music Social More…

songs that combine the abrasive and the delicate...

michael_w [Edit] [Delete] 17:28, 27 November '10

ok, so...

those two words might not be the best to describe what i'm talking about, but here we go...

the thing i love about age of adz is the way he combines these brash electronic shards with threads of delicate melody..

but this is probably the most perfect recent example of what i'm talking about

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LyqB7RZKts

a slither of delicate beauty trying to get through the wash of distortion....especially from 1.26

does this make sense?

i've decided this is the greatest thing in music ever.

the ability to combine beauty and a sort of harshness/brashness/abrasiveness AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME SONG!!

wow.

so.....could you recommend some more (apart from loveless, obv.)
