Out of 5 No. 51 - The Most Innovative Songs of 2006
I wasn't sure I was going to be much help on this one. I may love new music, but only in the sense that I never lose my enthusiasm for seeing the same American roots, rock, and soul elements shaken up and rejiggered over and over again. Think of it like Amiri Baraka's "changing same"--that which can be made new over and over again, even as it never really changes.
To that end, I chose the lead track off Califone's Roots and Crowns, "Pink and Sour." I've heard their sound described as "post-rock" and I guess it is, but Califone has always just struck me as a fractured folk band. Anyway, give it a spin.
For this week's full Out of 5 mix--including Chris's selection a crazy ass Whitehouse track I couldn't begin to explain--visit us this week at Outof5.com.
