Minutos Musicales: Foxtail Somersault

Estimados,
unid una atmósfera de guitarras, capas de ruido, una voz deliciosa y diversos ritmos regulares profundos. Con ello se crea una melodía única e inconfundible que da vida a este grupo llamado 'Foxtail Somersault'.

Para mí es una delicia presentaros a este grupo poco conocido pero del que realmente se desprende una calidad increible. Espero que os guste. Como comentario adicional deciros que es interesante mirar las influencias de los miembros del grupo (las adjunto debajo de la foto)

"BioFoxtail Somersault, a San Francisco based five-piece, was formed when guitarist Seiken Nakama, decided to take his musical passions to the next level. Largely influenced by the shoegaze genre, Foxtail Somersault blends diverse musical styles without being contrived.

Accompanying Seiken's textured guitar layers, Catherine Howland has a voice and lyrics you don't want to miss. James Spadaro's hook-laden guitar melodies, complement the "wall of sound" style, while bassist Brian Anderson and drummer Mark Dungey construct original and dynamic rhythms. Calling upon influences like Slowdive, Luna, Mogwai, and Asobi Seksu, Foxtail Somersault's dreamy, atmospheric yet edgy sound is both original and familiar."
