Cadillac Sky
If you follow me on twitter then you've probably heard me sing the praises of Cadillac Sky. The harmony, the instrumentation, the songwriting, the way cool beards, they have it all. I got their new cd in the mail and couldn't believe my ears. I was headed to Virginia last weekend and ended up listening to the four song EP there and back. Oh yea, it's that good. The cherry on top of this beauty is the "Weary Angel Reprise." They put a brand new song on a disc, then three tracks later they their alter egos slack up on the bluegrass, plug in their instruments and nail the song again with drums, electric guitars, a RATM bassline in the breakdown, and screaming vocals. No really, he screams, not in an emo sissy wail, but an I'll rip your face off angry scream that will make small children cry. On a scale of crazyness from one to Tom Cruise, this band is flying fighter jets. I'll shut up now and let you enjoy one of the songs from the new disc, a cover of Death Cab for Cutie's "I will follow you into the dark."
*I really, really, really want to post the Weary Angel Reprise here, but seeing as they don't have it anywhere else online I'll assume they don't want it posted and would prefer you to buy the $5 EP. So I'll be a good fan and strongly recommend you head over to cadillacsky.net and buy the EP. Srsly, it's only $5 and it's well worth $16.28.
