So ok, everyone knows that Cat Power's best album was Moon Pix. Sure, You Are Free is pretty good too, The Greatest...wasn't really. I mean, Cat Power mixed with happiness and steel lap guitar? I dunno Chan, I just don't know. That aside, Moon Pix is amazing in the fragile futility it sends right through my stereo speakers (or in this case, computer speakers).
So what happens when you mix Moon Pix with Portishead's Dummy (undeniably far better than 2nd album "Portishead")? Well, you get the band Metal Hearts. I mean, it has all the depressive strains of both Moon Pix and Dummy but takes the jangly guitar of the former and the slick beats and brass sounds of the latter and creates a whole new way to be blue. These guys have been a godspend and further reinforce my theory that depressing music keeps you cool (which is pretty much invaluable in this fucking grotesque weather). I'd put a song down for everyone to download and listen to but I don't know how. If anyone is interested/reading this go to www.myspace.com/themetalhearts
Thats all.
