Underground Hottlanta: This Piano Plays Itself
By now, you know all about the bigger local acts that are blowing the city up, like Deerhunter, Mastodon, Black Lips, Snowden, etc. Well, those superstars aren’t the only ITP folks that are churning out the kickass tunes. This new Ohmpark series is going to be all about finding the less known, newer faces that are warrioring the scene. One newer band that is really impressing me and showing a ton of potential is This Piano Plays Itself. After playing a killer set at Home Park Fest (which we will have video up from soon), I got a copy of their “Pre-Demo Demo” and have been jamming it hard lately. They take post-rock and electronica jams and arrange them in more conventional structures that utilize vocals/lyrics and create a really cool hybrid. Give it a listen:
Oh Haste The Proletariat Waits
There Are Segments Of Revolving
All those songs plus more are available on their Myspace page, so go hit them up. I’m excited to see what their finished product is going to be like and expect big things from these guys in 2008.
