Lali Puna: Our Inventions

To tell you the honest truth, there are some bands/musicians (Markus Acher = Genius) that don't need introduction, review, and/or praise. With every release, Our Inventions included, Lali Puna prove just how important they are and how amazing German music can be. Simply, buy the album and enjoy.

Yoyoyo Acapulco: The Pleumeleuc Experience

I have been listening to Yoyoyo Acapulco's album The Pleumeleuc Experience for the last couple of days and I can't decide; is it a comical attempt at music or are all the songs sincere. The music is impressive from a performance standpoint, but the lyrics seem so silly and playful. However, with that noted, I have to say: I love this album!

It's quite strange, normally this type of music would drive me nuts but I think the instrumental experimentation is excellent. Imagine Pavement with an accordion, melodica, and penny-purchased xylophone. The music is great and, well obviously, a lot of fun to listen to. I am really glad that I gave it a couple of days "chance" to understand the subtlety that is Yoyoyo Acapulco because I am sure I will be listening a lot more from now on.
