Deathray!

You know, I really should listen to more Deathray. It’s ridiculous how good they are. I was heading out this afternoon to mail my 1040 (yes, I waited until the last minute; it’s not like it matters; the stamp took up more than half of the miniscule refund I’m getting), and I noticed that I was about 30 seconds from teh end of Relics of the Chozo, so I had to scroll through my MP3 player to find something new to listen to. Deathray just popped out at me, and I just had to listen to it.

So what does Deathray sound like? Well, I haven’t really been exposed to that much top-40 music in the last few years, but I can tell you that they sound (to me, at least) a lot like The Rentals. Specifically, most Deathray songs (to my ear, at least) sound similar to Friends of P. Only 1000 times better. If you have the opportunity, I suggest you check them out. They only really have two albums, an emonymous release in 2000, and a disc that is little more than a big EP called White Sleeves, both on Doppler records.
