I haven't really posted anything in here lately that I don't think most of you haven't heard of before. So here is something.
Skeletons are a experimental band from Ohio that now reside in NYC. It is lead by Matthew Mehlan and a few other main members with a constantly rotating membership of guest musicians for each album. I really don't know how to describe there music so here is a quote from Pitchfork:
An outsize global-a-go-go mélange of unceasing polyrhythms, Afrobeat guitars, free jazz, and Timbaland's approach to kitchen-sink percussion.
With all that said I'd say at the base of their sound Skeletons is a strange indie rock band.
This album is called Lucas and was put out in 2007 under the name Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities. It's my favorite album by them but I own them all and think each album is great. Plus this album has maybe the worst album art I've ever seen besides Black Moth Super Rainbow's "Dandelion Gum."
