definitely.
bringing electronics into the soft, sappy world of guitars! really though,
ColdHouse has some very nice stuff on it in terms of taking 'wimpy indie
rock' and throwing in some 'not forced, but quite natural feeling'
electronic textures. the best part about it is that it sounds so
appropriate. like if you weren't paying attention you wouldn't even notice.
it's definitely coming from the rock camp as opposed to the DNTEL that
came from the electric camp and incorporated 'indie' elements.
funny, i actually interviewed Hood for Adesh's recordcamp.com (should be
posted, like, in video-or-something, in a bit) when they were in nyc last
friday. very nice chaps. though i must say the 'synthesis' works a lot
better for them in the studio than live. at one point, though, the mic
connection was all fucked up and it sounded really cool, like the vocal
cut-ups on album.
