Keepaway:
Formally known as “In” Keepaway must have realized the inevitable headaches fans would have suffered while searching for their music. Luckily for us they chose a name that in my opinion is a bit more suited for their sound. Keepaway is a playful half electronic half live band with obvious roots to bands like Animal Collective and Yeasayer. What makes them that much different is the surprising pop hooks that are interwoven with layered live drums and loopy samples to create something quite refreshing. A lot of the experimental heaviness of their predecessors is left out and what we are given is a airy spring day, jogging through a park with your headphones on, not thinking about where your going or how you’ll get back. Keepaway’s album “Baby Styles” is out May 18th and I am super excited to see if these guys can pull through and carve a name for them selves in a scene so drenched with copy cats. Check out these two tracks that have been soaring around the internet and then head over to their myspace to listen to some tracks that I had an impossible time tracking down, I suggest Evil Lady and Riddim Hunt.
