Mice Parade
What's the measure of a great band? For some the measure of a great band is represented soley by numbers, for others it's the quality of the live performance. For most it is simply a feeling, an intimate connection to the music that transcends peripheral ephemera like song titles, graphic design and marketing. And yes, when a band focuses efforts on both live and recorded material with a balanced devotion, you indeed have something special. Readers of scissorkick know how much we love bands like Cinematic Orchestra and Jaga Jazzist, and for much of the same compelling reasons I now add Mice Parade to this short list. Today's post is an extremely rare glimpse at Adam Pierce and company's newest outing due April 19th on his solid Bubblecore imprint. The CD-R I received to review for Resonance didn't even include song titles, so I apologize for the anonymity, but I hope you'll agree that names are merely formalities here. This is deep stuff, with the emotive guitar meandering and solid percussive signature regularly affixed to Pierce's compositional style. Live, they are simply not to be missed and the word on the street (from a recent interview) is that Mice Parade and Boom Bip will be sharing East Coast dates in the Spring. Nice.
