Civil Twilight

So a friend recently saw Civil Twilight at SXSW and she can't stop raving about them. She already knew who they were before she went, but she said they were even better live. I had heard two of their songs before.

"Letters from the Sky"
 
 
 
"Fire Escape"
 

 
 
I liked both of these songs previously and so I thought I'd check them out again. I was quite shocked when I found out that they were from South Africa. They have a very indie-rock sound. Some of their songs are very subtle and quiet, while others are a bit up beat. Their overall vibe is very soft and easygoing. They aren't like those bands who build adrenaline in an audience. They have the type of music you want to listen to when you want to relax. And I like that.
 
One song my friend introduced me to was "River."
 
"River"
 
It has a soft sound that is accompanied by a faster beat which gives it a great vibe.
 
I also am really enjoying this song.
 
"Holy Weather"
 
 
 
Again, same indie soft sound accompanied with a quicker beat. I really like that mix together. It is too overwhelming, yet it keeps your attention.
 
I am definitely planning on listening to all of their albums, now that I understand how to use spotify and what not.
 
And one last note. These blogs have really helped me figure out what I truly like in music and why I like it. I never would have said I like indie rock. Mainly because I didn't know what it was, but whenever I think indie, I think kind of hippy-ish. But I really enjoy that sound. And my knowledge of artists and music throughout history has really grown tremendously. Thank you, Mr. A, for making us write these.
