Discovering Pledge
Music has been a pretty good source of new music lately. I initially found the site not too long ago
through following The Zombies on Twitter.
After buying their new album, I perused the Pledge Music site to see
what other goodies might be available.
After a little bit of searching I stumbled upon OK Go and their new
album Hungry Ghosts. Now I’m not the biggest fan of OK Go out
there, (Not in a bad way, it’s not like I think they’re Nickelback or
something) I’ve just never taken the time to get into their music apart from
watching their ridiculously amazing videos on YouTube and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to dive in head first.
With any album I
review, I try to play the hell out of it without headphones for a while so that
I can get a good feel for it before I sit down and write. What I noticed right off the bat (and liked
very much) is how they tastefully weave the use of synthesizers into their
brand of rock. With my attention grabbed
from the synth work, I was pretty excited to dive into the rest of the album.
