Buildings Breeding
It does me proud when I can look on a map, and see respected indie artists, in my own backyard. I live in Sacramento, home of the CAULIFORNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH governator. Loved the Warren Beatty line about how he changed him to a Democrat on the Golden Globes last night.
When I can pick up the good 'ol Rand McNally and see Joanna Newsom originated 40 minutes away in Nevada City, !!! (Chk Chk Chk) within 10 minutes, Jackie Greene playing at the zoo (no joke) and DJ Shadow in Davis to name four, I'm thrilled to be from around here. Especially with the Jackie Greene zoo thing.....he'll play anywhere!
Here comes another band that's been perking ears lately. Another product from Davis, Buildings Breeding. They have a great mellow, Elliott Smith meets the Shins kind of thing going on, perfect for a spring drive with the top rolled down, on some country back road.
The four piece's new self titled album was mixed by Aaron Prellwitz who has done work with Sun Kil Moon, Hella and Alaska and if that wasn't enough name dropping for you, just wait until you hear what I have next. The band recorded the new album at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco, which happens to be John Vanderslice's Studio.
Yeah, uh huh, so what do you think now sparky?!
The band is already planning a vinyl only EP, and global domination, after they blow minds at SXSW.
Look for their album to drop January 23rd.
