Simplicity Can Be Cool


Traditional rock instrumentation is uncommon in today's music - we rarely get to hear straight up guitar, bass and drums from relevant artists. If you want to hear how classic instrumentation can create a new and refreshing sound, download Real Estate's "Beach Comber" from their self-titled album. "Beach Comber" is surf-pop guitar tones, ghostly vocals, and a snare beat that keeps the whole thing moving. For a similar experience (from last decade), check out Ambulance LTD, especially "Stay Where You Are" and "Anecdote."
