Fol Chen

ladies and gentlemen!!
im back! it s been a while... time to get movin'!

there have been a plethora of quality albums this year (mid 2012 and on)... Garbage, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, just to name a few...
in future posts i will mention and write about the albums that i have listened the most since the last post (June 2012, jeez!!)..
 in this world of singles/EPs/remixes as if people forgot about the concept of the album... do we buy/download albums at all? do we listen to them with enough attention and care as we used to in our teenage days? is time the crucial obstacle, or simply laziness?

if you re in the mood for some fresh and interesting pop music, LA's musical gem FOL CHEN is here to please your taste.. they have 3 full length albums and quirky videos, unfortunately not widely known, as a bunch of great bands... one of the videos/singles is this one.. miranda july meets david lynch... sexy misteryyyyy


  

anyway, they released the new album this March, their bandcamp profile states: "Fol Chen makes soundtracks to a future that never was. To listen is to leave the comfort of nostalgia and land with both feet in a bolder 21st century. Think of it as pop music for people who aren’t sure where or when they are, but who know it’s nowhere they’ve been before." this video and song fully back this statement, the romantic astronaut Odyssey in space

or this one, blend of fol-chen-esque rnb and pop;) they combine rnb beats with strings and multi vocals in the chorus.. so complex and yet it all works out!! some of the album reviewers think that this song has a forced pop sentiment to it, but i completely disagree...it s a well done pop song with elements of electroclash, don t ya thinkkkkk??? if you like all of these songs, don t be lazy and buy/download all Fol Chen albums!! my writing got a bit rusty, i admit, but i ll improve!! hahahhaha!! till the next time!!
