I really like BandCamp as a medium to listen or buy CD's / Mp3's from bands. Let's face it MySpace is now horrendous for the user, it takes up all your computer resources and is ad-central. Drop down adverts and enforced ad pages equal instant turn away for me. The sooner all bands leave it in favour of BC / Soundcloud the better ...
Another thing guaranteed to make me happy is bands making their material available electronically for free / not a lot of money... so with the news that you can download Chalk and Numbers debut EP 'He Knew' for free right here combined with a wonderful 60's retro summery pop vibe means that this Brooklyn’s boy/girl duo are onto a winner...
I've been enjoying their sounds a lot these last few days... Full of a charming vibe, some pretty as a flower lyrics and a lovely vocal and happy melodies which really is making a lovely contrast to the winter / Christmas chills that have been filling the pages recently.
With Cults and Tennis earmarked to make the retro 60's pop act mainstream in 2011, Chalk and Numbers might just be in that same bracket before long. Yeah, this is very nice.
