Up, up, up!

"It is hard to overstate the wonderfulness of Graceland, a record that made American pop out of South African township music and transformed Paul Simon from a 60s wunderkind into a middle-aged pop innovator with 13 million album sales. A few years ago, fellow New Yorkers Vampire Weekend turned Graceland into an indie-rock phenomenon de nos jours. This infatuation continues with a new band called Givers, currently causing a stir Stateside since their appearance at South by Southwest (they sound like Arcade Fire playing Vampire Weekend)." [Guardian]

Aggiungiamo pure un tocco esotico-light di Animal Collective e Grizzly Bear, un po' di melodie appiccicose Mistery Jets, una spruzzata di synth MGMT, quei cinque o sei cambi di tempo che se non li metti in ogni pezzo fai proprio la figura del poveraccio e non facciamoci mancare il gioco delle voci maschile / femminile. Ecco, i Givers hanno tutto per prendersi l'estate 2011.
