No Demons Here, “Cradles” MP3

January 11, 2010


At the end of 2009 Transparent talked to some bands about music they were excited about. Everyone namechecked Girls, then turned on us on to a lot of other bands we were totally unfamiliar with. It was overwhelming and we're only just now getting around to listening to it all. No Demons Here's "Cradles" was a particular standout, blending the stuff that was common in music last year (lo-fi! vocals buried so deep you have to listen to a song 15 times before you figure out what they're saying!), with a candid openness that is unflinchingly honest and a little uncomfortable. It's bedroom pop in the truest sense of the word, and while it is a huge bummer to hear a dude sing about how his eighth birthday was pretty much the pinnacle of his life, letting his voice turn into blown out speaker decay and then transition into a fractured guitar solo. Buy the tape here, And if that's not your thing, it's all available for free download on his MySpace.
