I Come to Shanghai: “Houses on the Shore”

November 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t often get to my emails. However, I Come to Shanghai sold me on checking out this tune with the inclusion of one phrase: “Deerhoof, for example, is pretty much our favorite modern rock band.” That’s a pretty good way to get my attention. Downside is, now that it’s been used, I’ll be less likely to respond to it. Oh well.

MP3: I Come to Shanghai – Houses on the Shore
Since I’ll be neck-deep in Thanksgiving today, I’m going to hang this over to the band to describe. Suffice to say, I dig the song and thinks it shows great potential for their future endeavors.

It starts out with some woozy folk, hits a biggish chorus, and then goes for two rounds of Sam and I dueling on electric guitars while the drums try to beat their way out of a haze of tape distortion.
