I agree with Marco, Rock/Pop is disapointing at the moment... or maybe I am
getting older??
Gomez is definitely a good surprise. These guys were 17 years old when thwy
released their first album. The production is superb and so unique: mixing
pop with blues and samples and scratches and nive melodies... what a
programme. respect is due.
Apart from them, I still like Supergrass and Paul Weller (not very young and
recent).
Having said that, there is one band I really adore: ELYSIAN FILEDS (from NY
I think). Their 1st album was absolutely superb...
Does anyone knows if they still exist? If they splited-up, what are the
former members doing now?
Thanks guys.
