At Dusk
November 20, 2004
It’s hard to come across music these days that does not follow some
sort of musical standard. You’ve got the many denominations of
punk, pop, rock, metal, but do we have enough non-conformist
genres? Why do bands tend to follow a specific route? Is
it for marketing purposes (so your local record shop knows where to put
your CD so that the trendy consumer can find your record properly
labeled?)? I joined this mp3 blog world because I wanted to
present music that was not mainstream or unconventionally
conventional. Today I give you At Dusk out of Portland, Oregon. Their influences range from Philip Glass to Mission of Burma.
What stands out is an approach to song crafting that is sincere and
from the gut. They remind me a bit of local SF favorites, The
Moore Brothers.
