***scenic vista*** -~- the double album

In honor of the late and great who inspired half of it:

 I give to you the raw & unfinished twin of Scenic Vista's SkycopThrilla, which is notably titled 'The Double Album".  It features 2 unedited compilation tracks with more undigested, unprepared Scenic Vista originals along with the covers & even a few more covers... Ramones, Modest Mouse, Charlie Horse Delta Force (pretty much hear what you hear...)

Some parts you may recognize if you have downloaded the SkycopThrilla EP like a good little boy or girl should have, if not, click on the scenic vista tag below this post and download away.

Tracks:

1 Skycop  (8:14)

2 Thrilla  (25:30)

And please, try to refrain from any MJ jokes while listening.   Just think about all the people he has touched over the 30+ years he has been the King of Pop, especially the children...      (i wish that were an original joke, but that's just not the case)

scenic vista -~- skycopthrilla

I had an earlier post of these guys but I wanted to properly repost a full EP for better means of enjoyment.
If you like the whole "DIY-beach-punk-bedroom-rock-garage-pop-lo-fi-bliss" genre that is slowly taking over the world here is something fresh from it.

Painfully awesome to listen to, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS, its better than your mom's apple pie, because it is your mom's apple pie, but with lots of feedback.

Okay, so I think it is time I unleash this band to the blogging, interweb world.  I have followed their development from when the lead singer and bassist, Mr. Raphael Cohen, first mocked the Kelis song "Milkshake" a little over a year ago to create the first beloved single out of a voice I do not think he knew really existed (but did come from his body).  From this moment of musical spontaneity birthed an opportunity for Steven Greco (guitar) and long time friend Matt Kelly (drums) to help raise this beautiful music-baby surprise.  Over time a female force, Ms. Emma "Lassooooo" Bayley, joined forces with these natural beauties to help with back-up vocals.  They recorded for about 2-5 hours in a basement with a laptop to produce their first ever EP titled SkycopThrilla.  The best way to describe them is a "fuzzed out Pavement", haha no only joking.  They have an eerie LO-FI similarity to a band I have come to very much like recently called WAVVES, but they bring a little more surfer punk noise and a little less pop.  I have seen them perform a bunch of times, but their most recent show, which was at the Providence venue AS220 this past Fall, rocked the shit out of me (in a good way).  You can find them on myspace (yea, no shit..) at myspace.com/scenicvista.  And I'll hook it up with a few tracks, including a Neutral Milk Hotel cover...

enjoy
