Azeda Booth - In Flesh Tones

Azeda Booth (Calgary, Canada) At first listen Azeda Booth sounds a lot like Blonde Redhead and Deerhoof - which is not a bad thing but considering I'm a die hard Blonde Redhead fan it can be a little off putting and I tend to be slightly more judgmental (Sorry I can't help it). All my preconceptions about this band were soon thrown out the window and by the end of my first listen of their new LP, In Flesh Tones,  I definitely am digging this album and this band. Their style would be best described as traditional folk and ambient mixed with sweeping pop elements. The vocals are minimal and light but still manage to feel full adding to the band's over all dynamic. Easy to conceive but very hard to execute. Azeda Booth do it with precision. It's no surprise that the band recently got a 7.9 rating on PItchfork (read the review here). These days I have been very careful in making sweeping remarks about new music. I know not everything can be the "Best Thing Ever" but Azeda Booth definitely are a higher caliber of musician worthy of your eardrums. I highly suggest you check them out. In Flesh Tones is out now on Absolutely Kosher. Pick up the album right here. [MP3] Azeda Booth - Ran
