Sybris

I have but one forlorn track sitting on my hard drive from this little quartet called Sybris. Upon first listen there are definite parallels to a band I talked about awhile ago, Hot Springs, and along with that comes the allusion to Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Although I liken Sybris to the best of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The side that slants more towards pop and rock and less towards harsh vocals and angst. This track hails from their album Into the Trees (amazon) and I dig what I’ve heard of it thus far.

mp3 : Sybris – Oh Man!

I love this song for the sense of controlled chaos embodied in the last forty five seconds. Well that and the plaintive and repeated line “oh man I want some shade.” {As an afterthought, is there a hint of Nada Surf apparent to anyone else?}

    I see a little Nada Surf in the musical stylings but obviously the vocals are totally different. Anyway, I have found the whole album great for driving with the windows down on the warmer days.
