Pop Squad: Emmett and Mary
Kimya Dawson is a bit old hat now, what with being in Juno and all. Plus y'know, tweexcore is kind of over. We're all about chilling. Or punk. Or stuff with booms, bips and glitches. Hello to Emmett and Mary then, Brandon Locher and My Idea of Fun's latest collaborative project out of PA, USA. With so many members it's no surprise to hear the band using all these techniques and more. There's even an opera bit at the end. Demonstrating their style perfectly is 'Surveying Revelations' of their Surveying Revelations EP. Download it below and visit My Idea of Fun for more information.
The record includes a line-up of football squad proportions.
