A show you shouldn’t miss: Mon Khmer + Hooray for Earth at Pianos, 11.17

Very interesting show at Pianos on November 17 with our current CD of the month Hooray for Earth and Mon Khmer, who were one of our Artist of the month some time last year. For a review of the first band see here. Mon Khmer sound a little bit like Broken Social Scene with better songs – almost like a "perfected" version of the Canadian collective, that tended to compensate a certain songwriting weakness with mind blowing production values. The NYC based group might not have reached the level of complex refinement of BSS’ records, but it definitely navigates very similar waters, inhabited by post-rock influences, textural arrangements, and sober creativity. They should play/tour with our friends The Mobius Band!
