Album Of The Week: September 30-October 6, 2013
My Album Of The Week for the week of September 30th-October 6th, 2013:
Fury Things - Fury Things
I've been aware of Fury Things for a while now. Their song "Vapors" turned up as a Current Song Of The Day back in March. When I reviewed it for SOTW #32 I wasn't particularly blown away, putting the song in the middle of the road with a 2.5/5.
Well, for whatever reason Fury Things kept turning up on my radar. I'd see people talking about them on Twitter or find them in my "Similar Artist" tabs on Last.fm, you know, just random internet stuff. Eventually I decided that I should give the band another chance and dig a little deeper. I hopped over to their Bandcamp page and grabbed their first two EP's. I gave 'em each a spin and decided that it made more sense to start with the first, self-titeld EP Fury Things (aka The One Without "Vapors" On It). Very fuzzy, very hooky, and, most importantly, very speedy (all things I complained about regarding "Vapors.").
