This is the last week video from WAS – After Hours.
It’s not really a new band but as they have a fresh record coming out, it’s worth a good listening.
The text below is about this record, Migration. I took from their MySpace page:
“Here are my thoughts about the record, by Gabe Levine of Takka Takka Sometimes this record is about existing in a place you don’t belong. Conversely, it is about where you came from and how you got there.
Sometimes this record is about my mother. She recently decided to become a Pamanku, a Balinese holy person. This has brought us do a fair amount of talking lately, more than I have ever had chance to do before. Some of those conversations made their way into these songs—myth, prayer, offerings, gamelan music (oh such sweet music), poverty, volcanic eruptions, Communist purges, cultural misunderstanding, racism, family and abandonment.
Sometimes this record is about a band experimenting with sound and form, trying to honestly say things in song it has never said before.
Sometimes this record is about not going back and staying in the place you don’t belong.”

Those guys are from a NY-Brooklyn based band. We like it at the first glance.
Maybe because we fit ourselves in the urban-indie-rock-kinda-dancing mood [Our default mood. Come and dance with us, babe].
This track came out to me in a good blog, Bag of Songs. And as people are looking for it here, I decided to share too.
The song’s name is ‘What would Lou Reed do?’ and sounds like post-rock NY clubs. Perfect.

As soon as I read about their album, I’ll tell you.
They define themselves as a triple keyboard action. Erika, Heather and Annie are the three main singers who play keyboard and drum machines, the only instruments in their songs. The mix of styles (pop, folk, indie, electro) define the undefinable style of them. But, for me, they are just an amazing trio with good lyrics and nice melodies. And I love their clothes too.
