You know ever since my little anniversary post I’ve been
listening to Fitz and the Tantrums first album on a pretty steady rotation and
it’s still as bad ass now as it was when I first got it, and of course with
that in mind I figured why not actually take the time to write about how
awesome they are and upon the typing of them into the Youtube search bar I’ve
just come across the fact that they seem to have a new single coming out which
is for lack of a better term…..FUCKING AWESOME!
Ok I’m going into this with a open mind because let’s be
frank you never really want to expect to hear the same thing twice and oh is
this something interesting.
Rather then that very throwback sound that hooked me on this
bad ass little group we have here a very modern sounding little indie rock tune
that has fitz kind of out of place vocals over a very stark kind of echoing
rhythm that’s very steady in a lot of ways, but after a second listen it’s
pretty cool in a lot of ways albeit a little too much like what’s popular on
alternative radio at this moment in time, but also you can’t really blame them
for trying to do something a little different.
So in conclusion what we have here is actually a pretty
strong bit of new music from a band that sadly might only really be a hidden
gem amongst music groups but still a killer chorus with a nice change of sound
is something I can’t find any fault with.
Good job Fitz.
