About Me |
|
| In 2004, St. Louis’s So Many Dynamos released their debut full length, "When I Explode." It was not an Arcade Fire/Clap Your Hands Say Yeah indie rock breakout success story. It didn’t catapult the band onto the front of magazine covers or land them backstage snorting lines off of Jack White’s Grammy. It did however, do what debut full lengths should do for young bands from moderately ignored towns on small labels; it exposed the band to those willing to listen, received nods from Spin Magazine and Entertainment Weekly among others, and acted as the hypothetical fuel (read: cheaper than real fuel) to carry a GMC Vandura across over 30 states for over 200 shows. Now So Many Dynamos return with "Flashlights", their second full length for Seattle’s Skrocki Records. "Flashlights" is the sophomore record that young bands from moderately ignored towns on small labels are supposed to make; it expands on their debut in every aspect. The band’s unique brand of chaotic pop has been sharpened, refined. The songs are catchier, noisier, dancier, smarter, often weaving in and out, Frogger-style, between anthematic choruses and epileptic freakouts. The band has also learned how the recording studio works, harnessing the urgency of their live performances into ones and zeroes and throwing some unexpected instruments into the fold (4 piece horn section, 30 piece choir, toy accordion, banjo, thumb piano, etc.) Calculated in conception and dead on in execution, So Many Dynamos is a band intent on not half-assing anything. They will continue to remind you that "infect" is the base word of "infectious". And perhaps, in the right time at the right place, if you allow yourself, they will crawl beneath your skin and force you to itch yourself into a dance you didn’t know you knew the moves to.

Music:Member Since: 6/24/2004Band Website: somanydynamos.biz Band Members: aaron - vocals/keyboard griffin - guitar ryan - guitar norm - drums Influences: Talking Heads, Weezer, At the Drive-In, Radiohead, Battles, Les Savy Fav, Cinemechanica, Broken Social Scene Sounds Like: "St. Louis' So Many Dynamos have their feet firmly planted on the same shaky, unstable ground as Les Savy Fav and Q and Not U. The tracks on their sophomore release, Flashlights, feature upbeat tempos and driving melodies bursting through chaotic arrangements." - Cory D. Byrom, Pitchfork Media "With ill-tuned guitars and Midwestern angst, So Many Dynamos craft woozy angular noise punk” – SPIN Magazine "So Many Dynamos represents the ever more beautiful evolution of common music into something inherently interesting and cool. Unlike other bands that are attempting the same metamorphosis, SMD succeeds in bridging the gap, maintaining singable and danceable material, while bringing so much more intelligent interplay to the table. They lie somewhere between Weezer and Q And Not U; using radio friendly rhythms that change in the moment and widen the songs into multiple layers, while the vocals dance around, crisp and meaningful. " - Hybrid Magazine Record Label: currently homeless Type of Label: None |
