I think I’ve found my new Band of the Month, although they’re not exactly new (their album Grab That Gun debuted middle of last year). The Organ is a Vancouver-based all-girl band (if you couldn’t tell from the picture … androgyny is in these days) I discovered by way of indietorrents last week.
There’s a whole lot of The Smiths in their music, which makes me think of another Morrissey-style melancholy-rock (and female-led) band, Echobelly. The whole album has so far been a great listen (I’m working my way through it a second time as I write this), and it’s positively brimming with these brilliant, snippet-length riffs. Not quite as intense as The Bravery, but still really, really engaging stuff.
