My Album Of The Week for the week of September 23rd-29th, 2013:
Cruel Love - EP
"Cruel Love is an electronic indie band from Minneapolis."
That's the extent of knowledge I found waiting for me when I followed a link from my Twitter feed (via @Astronautalis) saying to check out this Twin Cities band to Cruel Love's Bandcamp page. Really, though, if I'm being honest, it wasn't going to take much more info than that to get me to check them out.
I gave the EP a spin yesterday afternoon and I think this one is going to be a grower. The songs are dense with altered vocals and layers of synths. I'm betting that by the end of the week the hooks at the heart of these songs will become clear.
