Like many of you our there who share our fine musical tastes, I regularly read Pitchfork. While luckily it isn't my sole source of music news and reviews (try Cokemachineglow its real good), I always go out and listen to whatever bands earn the Best New Music or Recommended labels from the site. The pundits over at Pitchfork sometimes get it right, sometimes they miss and sometimes they give an album a great score that really does deserve it, but somehow misses out on the hype. Like Black Milk, Max Tundra really deserves a listen. His music clearly expresses the pure joy he finds in making music and the album is a hodgepodge of different sonic styles and textures moving in a hundred different ways all at the same time. It is because the album is so diverse and the product of love that it is great. It is grounded in pop, but with the electronic noodlings that while reminiscent of Dan Deacon are way cooler and less pretentious. So in short for Max Tundra music=happiness and on his new album Parallax Error Beheads You, Ben Jacobs, the man behind the mask, makes a complex album that at face value makes you happy. How can you resist that? Please check it out at emusic.
