This Musik Mundi pick is from big poppa. He's been playing lots of stuff from The Airborne Toxic Event the last few days and has gotten me hooked on some of the songs. It's a great band that's made of musicians who play at least one instrument or more. There's a Chinese dude, Steven Chen who plays the guitar as well as the keyboards. How original, haha! Their music is different cos they incorporate string instruments along with your typical rock band instruments. They've got a violin and viola player as well as an upright bass player. The overall name of the band is kinda funky. Makes is sound hard but it's not even close. Mikel Jollett, the guy behind the formation of this band, is a writer of some sort and named the band after a section of the book White Noise. I think my favo track so far is Sometime Around Midnight. I love the guitar in this song, esp at the end.
