Minneapolis chamber popers bring their classic jazz pop styling to their newest release Who Needs Who. The album showcases a variety of song writing and instrumentation that is hard to find in the current indie-rock landscape. Nona Marie Invie’s uneasy preaching vocals bring folk roots to the band’s otherworldly avant-pop, combining 1920’s style accordion and clarinet with modern folk-rock guitar and drums to create a completely unique modern sound. In the same way the The Tallest Man on Earth seems to create new amazing sounds every album with the most overused and studied instrument(acoustic guitar), Dark Dark Dark takes sounds that we relegate to realms of movie soundtracks and creates relevant and innovative indie-rock for all ears.
